Sports Illustrated and ESPN do provide coverage of disabled athletes. For example, SI provided extensive preview coverage of both the upcoming summer Olympics and the Paralympics in 2021. ESPN also has done a number of stories and coverage related to the Special Olympics.

By 2018, Sports Illustrated elected to include a Paralympic amputee as part of its annual swimsuit (see link)
