Freedom through using a wheelchair

...

How adaptations and equipment can maximise mobility and enable a busy life

Emily gets out and about, far and wide, frequently. Emily’s electric wheelchair and adapted car give her freedom. Emily can't walk due to her cerebral palsy, but with these adaptations in her life she does not feel restricted. With her live-in PAs she roams far and wide. They love their adventurous road trips - it is never just a journey from A to B.

As you watch, ask yourself...

  • How does having control over her mobility help Emily engage with the world? 

  • Why do you think the journey itself is important to Emily?
