Honestly, it was through this article when I finally realized how really hard it is to have a disability. I thought having a wheelchair is just enough for someone to continue to live normally but then, it’s certainly not! Instead of being given due concern by “more normal” people while traveling, there is still a bit of discrimination among them. Let’s face it; we can never do away with our being rude to these people sometimes.

After all, everybody deserves to enjoy everything this world can offer. Whether you are disabled or not, you must always take extra effort in taking care of yourself from unexpected incidents especially during travel. It’s better to set certain bounds on your activities to avoid unwanted things to happen. As for persons having disabilities, take your time to enjoy but always remember that your actions are a bit limited already compared to others.

There you have it, you can now pack your things and have a good time!

Never put things in your chair that are likely to cause you to tip over like heavy books at back part as this may cause you to tip over. It is intended to be used as a seat and not as a shelf. Also, avoid staying in areas where you are most likely to be hit like back of doors. You’ll be sent flying if someone suddenly opens door. Do not let children play with your chair. They might end up riding one as well.

Like all normal activities, you must exercise enough caution when riding you wheelchair. For instance, if you need to cross a street take customary stop, look and listen routine. Be extra conscious in mounting your chair as your mobility is significantly reduced.

It still is best to take every precautionary step to make sure no accident happen. Though we can never totally prevent these from taking place, at least chances of it happening is greatly reduced. Be aware of your surroundings and be aware of yourself. It is always better safe than sorry.
