Wheelchair

The features that make the apartment accessible include, low light switches, wheelchair spaces underneath kitchen sinks, knobs on the front of the stove, shower seats and moveable shower heads, and emergency pull cords next to the bed and two in the bathroom. Particularly, the emergency pull cords were suitable since they were placed…

the pick 6. I choose to understand students with a physical disability and have to use a wheelchair. I borrowed my mom’s wheelchair one day, not only to do this project, but also because I had to get an injection in my knee for the first time and the doctor hit a nerve and had to do it twice and told me to stay off my foot the rest of the day. It was a challenging experience for me to get around in a wheelchair and do my daily activities. I had to cook dinner for the family. Luckily, my…

As the ramp at the lake did, the ramps and wheelchairs at the Fairland Sports & Aquatics Complex allow for individuals with disabilities to get exercise, but in the water. For individuals with physical disabilities that may be painful, being in the water reduces stress on joints and muscles, reducing…

Philly Rec Fest On September 27, 2014 I attended the Philadelphia Rec Fest at the Carousel House Recreation Center. It held activities for people with or without physical limitations including wheelchair basketball, wheelchair rugby, rock climbing, and even scuba diving! I volunteered for this event rather than the other 5 events because I wanted to contribute to helping the people in our city of Philadelphia. It was amazing to see how many people came out to not only support the event, but…

Throughout this semester we have read many readings from the ancient philosophers like Plato and Aristotle, to more modern ones like Descartes, and onto current era philosophers such as Merleau-Ponty and Gayle Salamon. One that I particularly took a liking to was Gayle Salamon. While we read many readings on phenomenology and differences in people, I was most able to connect with what Gayle Salamon wrote. I have personal experience with physical disabilities in which her topic is. Although…

The first thought I had when I was retrieving the wheelchair, for my turn, was that it was heavy and extremely awkward to carry. The pedals were carried separate and it didn’t collapse very well. It took a lot of work to get it into the back seat of my car. My friend pulling from one side of the car and I shoving it in from the other side. I had played around in a wheelchair before. My grandma uses one and they always have a stock pile at churches. But, in those cases I hadn’t tried to steer…

might even give you a reason to keep on pushing. As a student at John Dewey High school I have seen students with a physical disability and, it makes me have sympathy for them. Most of which can’t use the stairs to get to class because, they use a wheelchair due to their injured knee. It seems very awkward to see people walking with crutches have more reliabity to do things with their physique. Well as a senior at John Dewey High school I came up with an invention for students to get around…
