“The idea that a person is confined to a wheelchair is seeded in this idea that it is something that holds
us back. It’s not the stairs to get into the school that prevents us
from accessing an education, it’s the wheelchair. It’s not the stairs to
get into the subway station that prevents us from reaching our
destination of choice, it’s the wheelchair. The wheelchair is always
what’s viewed as being at fault for our limitations when the fact of the
matter is, our environment and the lack of thought that goes into
creating space for a person using a wheelchair, is what limits our
freedom. The wheelchair itself is the opposite of a limitation because
when you take it away what then?”
