My name is Sean Lewis. I am 29 and have cerebral palsy. I am a motivational speaker and I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed this video. It was interesting to see you demonstrate how to use the hand controls. I myself am unable to drive but I have friends who would benefit from this technology. I think it is so inspiring that you are going into physical therapy. You will be offer something other therapists cannot........proof that with determination and hard work you can achieve your dreams!
Thanks for d video.. Grt job :) Hey, my elder sister had met wid an accident and she is suffering thru traumatic paraplegia.. we would like to know from where did u get dis wheelchair? and wats ur diet? wats ur diet plan? we r from India and we don't have dis much facilities over here.. I would appreiciate if u help me wid wheelchair manufacturer's contact number so we can get dis wheelchair? Waiting for ur reply and hats off to ur courage dear.. god bless Pinki singh
I'm in a wheelchair, but honestly, when I watched you on the internet, I was speechless, I do not know what say .I like what you're doing, I like what you teach others who are in the same condition as use a wheelchair to make the right transfers and other things that do not everything know. very good for you, I like what you do. Good luck!
Great video! A question. How come the chair looks much more wider than you? Is is it intentionally? I usually try get a chair that's as slim as possible, but I know some prefer a wider chair for a better stability.
Thank you for the video, Very informative, and helpful in using a chair, I am also in a chair, but can walk little. I have a TI lite chair similar to your chair, Rigid,, Its the only way I can handle it., The next chair I will be getting is a Per4Max chair, Called the Shockwave,, It is made out of aluminum.. Looking forward to a light chair,, My current Ti Lite is not very heavy, Rolls extremely smooth with good tires. of course.. :)
@goliathprime They aren't considered carry-on and they don't charge you. Usually, they tag her chair at the gate and after she transfers onto the aisle chair they will stow it under the plane. Once we land, her chair is waiting for her at the new gate. Always make sure you take your cushion off and take it with you on the plane so it doesn't get lost.
@msdontprocrastinate She practiced with an instructor in a parking lot for a few hours and was able to get used to it pretty quickly. She already knew how to drive as an AB so that was probably an important contributing factor.
@muttyguy That would make sense. I have been practicing with my hand controls, but i didn't know how to drive before them, so that's probably why it's taking me longer to get use to. Thank you for the reply.
Great video, very clear explanations of how things work. I even learned some things and I've got more than fifteen years in a chair. Chair users make the best OT's for chair users. I've had AB OT's that gave advice you wouldn't believe.
@benbayke No spasms since her injury is complete. She uses the standing machine for weight bearing to prevent bone loss (among other things) down the road.
Being from England I think its about time we and our government caught up with places like America with things like adaptive technology, we seem to be a bit behind judging by stuff ive seen on the internet
(i have spina bifida and use a wheelchair by the way, im really getting into this kind of stuff)
that was a great video. very well done by the young woman. Im in a chair also. is their anyway I can get in contact with her? I have some inquiries etc.
Thanks for the great video. Just wondering (also to compare her injury level to my own): what is her injury level?
General comment: Also noticed that she gets into her car differently than I do. I don't think I've ever seen 2 people do it the same way. :)

Do airlines regard wheelchairs as carry-on luggage, or are the chairs considered part of the user, like shoes, clothes, etc?
