Yes, I am in fact a wheelchair user. I would never want to change that. What I want is to help people who are in wheelchairs. I’m not going to get too into this discussion here, but I would love for any one who is interested to visit the page and see what I’m doing.
My goal is not to make wheelchairs more functional, it just seems that people with disabilities are often treated as if they are. I like to think that there are people out there who are not in wheelchairs that are treated just fine, and that can make a big difference. Our disability policy actually states that “all persons with disabilities are encouraged to seek employment.” It also says, “all persons with disabilities are encouraged to seek employment or to otherwise contribute to society and to participate in recreational activities.
I can only imagine that this is one issue that can have a big impact with disability policy. The idea that we all have some sort of disability, and that it is somehow shameful that a person with a disability may be unable to do something may be a bit much for those who are able and healthy to swallow. We have to have a little bit more patience than that.
Well, no. It’s not a big issue. The idea of wheelchair back support is not something I think is an uncommon request, and for the most part it’s not a big deal.
The idea that I can’t roll a wheelchair, and that it is somehow shameful that someone with a disability may find it difficult to do so actually isn’t a big deal. It just isn’t. And those of us who have disabilities, or who have been disabled, have no shortage of things we might want to do, or of things we need, that those who do not have a disability can do.
The issue is that the majority of the wheelchair back support options out there are simply not good enough.
The biggest issue I see with wheelchair back support is that they cost a lot of money. You can buy a wheelchair back support that may be adequate for one person, but for most people it can be very inadequate. Then again, the majority of the people who need a wheelchair back support are elderly and/or have other physical impairments, so the ones that are good enough for them are usually better than the ones we have now.
To be honest, I don’t think wheelchair back support is the right solution for everyone. I think it’s a better idea for people who can use crutches. I think the only people who would actually benefit from a wheelchair back support are disabled veterans, people in wheelchairs, and people who need wheelchairs for mobility.
Many wheelchair users use crutches to get around, but since they are not able to use them, they need a wheelchair back support. Disabled veterans are an example of people who could benefit from a wheelchair back support, because they are often the ones who need it the most. But I have seen wheelchair back support used as a tool to force wheelchair users to use crutches. I actually wish wheelchair back support were a more common option for disabled veterans.
I used to have crutches, and I still do. People with crutches have a lot of disabilities to deal with, which can make it difficult to get around and even get around as well as possible. I wish wheelchair back support were more common. I wish disabled veterans had the option of using crutches and back supports.
