Music selection
Music can impact people’s perceptions.
Two types of music can be particularly problematic.
Pity music
For example, using sad music when people are discussing the birth of a child with disability, or a person acquiring disability. Doing so frames these events as ‘tragic’.
Heroic or triumphant music
This can be patronising if it stereotypes people with disability as ‘inspirational’.
