Crime drama series “Code of Silence” and Netflix medical drama “Pulse” are among the five productions that will receive the Ruderman Family Foundation’s Seal of Authentic Representation recognizing TV programs that offer authentic portrayals of characters living with disabilities.

“Especially in close proximity to this year’s Academy Awards, it is crucial to highlight the creators and producers who are opening doors for actors with disabilities and ensuring their stories are told by those who live them,” said Jay Ruderman, president of the Ruderman Family Foundation. “We are proud to honor their commitment and we hope their example continues to move the entertainment industry toward a widely adopted standard of authentic representation.”
