According to their website, VisABLE is the UK’s first professional agency representing only actors and models with disabilities. I’m wondering if they’re the first in the UK or the first in the world.  Either way, I think it’s pretty darn awesome.

Pictured here is one of their top models, Shannon Murray, who has been confined to a wheelchair since she was 14.  In 1994 Shannon won the first modeling competition for disabled women. It was organized by Louise Dyson, founder of VisABLE Models.

Awesome.
