National Advertiser Casting Parent with a Disability

A national advertiser is searching for a disability family to feature in its latest commercial.

If you, or someone you know is a mom or dad with a relatively new and apparent disability, whose family has at least one child (boy or girl) between the ages of 5-12 years old, and are non-union — please send photos or video and cover letter with COMMERCIAL in the subject line to [email protected] before Friday, December 11th.

The parent can be male or female, veteran or civilian. Families can live anywhere in the U.S, as the advertiser will film close to where the family lives.

Filming is tentatively scheduled for the week of January 11th.

This advertiser has made a commitment to include families with disabilities in its advertising, and to caption and audio describe their commercials so they are accessible to Deaf, hard of hearing, blind and low vision customers.
