Comments on: Wheelchair-Bound? I Don't Think So! http://accessibility.net.nz/blog/wheelchair-bound-i-dont-think-so/ Your web accessibility expert Fri, 30 Jul 2010 15:35:30 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Ben Hooper http://accessibility.net.nz/blog/wheelchair-bound-i-dont-think-so/#comment-579 Ben Hooper Fri, 12 Mar 2010 00:42:21 +0000 http://accessibility.net.nz/?p=110#comment-579 Hi, although I completely get your article and everything you say is correct, I’ll put a spin on it from someone who fell 6 floors. As far as I’m concerned people can call me what they want, there is no way I’m going to let the fact I’m in a wheelchair define the person I am. There are people that are wheelchair-bound, but that’s just a mental effect; there isn’t anything that I can do that they can’t. They just need to grow a pair and get on with life and don’t expect things on a plate.
