The Ruderman Seal of Approval for Authentic Representation is awarded to television or feature film projects featuring actors with disabilities in substantial speaking roles, and has been conceived as the premier recognition for those in the entertainment creative community who show the commitment toward full inclusiveness in popular culture. The Seal will be awarded when productions meet two simple, specific, highly achievable, criteria:

1. The Seal is awarded to television shows and movies that feature actors with disabilities with a speaking role of at least five lines;
2. These productions must be in, or on the verge of, general release.
