Get
to Know the Person Behind the Disability (Infoforum)
Picture yourself in a wheelchair. Add this fact: It is permanent.
There are no miracles left. Forget about the cause; this is the
life you have now. There is no choice but to accept your fate and
make the best of it. Got the picture? Now, go out into society and
see what you run into. Most people don’t see the person behind
the disability. You are treated not as a person with a disability,
but as a disabled person. People look at the things you can’t
do rather than the things you can do.
