Having specialised in the sub-area of mental retardation, he expanded into the wider realms of disability by researching, creating awareness and advocacy.

Ali Baquer believed that it was necessary to create awareness about disability issues so as to achieve a society based on the social model of disability. In an effort to disseminate information and knowledge about his research outcomes Ali Baquer scripted and produced 26 episodes of `Ek Ghar Aas Paas`, a popular TV serial telecast at prime time on the National Network, dealing in soap format with the problems and care of people with mental retardation. He presented the solution of long term care for disabled members through the means of Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR), by creating a module of a home in the community for the disabled members of the community. Of all the tele-films, documentaries and TV talk shows on disability issues, his last venture was a documentary on a disability worker named and titled as ‘Sonia’. He used the medium of his short stories to write on disability issues and these included, Behroop, Sanjogta and others. Behroop tackled the wrong assumptions that are held by the able-bodied regarding persons with disabilities and how these fall flat when confronted with the realities of the life of a mentally challenged boy. This story was adapted in the form of a 30-minute episode for a TV series in India.
