I can’t remember if I’m missing any but two of the main disabled characters that I can think of are both played by disabled actors!!
Isaac was originally written as an amputee I think but when George Robinson who plays him got the part, Isaac’s character was rewritten to have a spinal cord injury reflecting Robinson’s real disability. He’s introduced in Season 3 and shows up a lot in Season 4 as well.
Another disabled character is Aisha who is deaf and is alsp played by Alexandra James, a deaf actress.
It’d be pretty risky saying any show is perfect but Sex Education does a pretty good job with representation!!
