Well they probably didn't get better chairs because its a school-project and those things are expensive. Students don't go spending like that on a project...
but the idea of doing this project is very nice. I live in a small town in Brazil and i think somone should do this here, where there are almost no structures to help a disabled person. Thet would really suck.
Jacquie seriously I hated hearing how you thought you had it so bad spending 2 weeks in a chair with the comments, looks, etc people gave you. 5:10-5:54ish That is nothing compared to how people treat you when you spend your WHOLE LIFE in a chair, as I have. I think it is worse also, if people can tell that you have a custom wheelchair not the generic ones as people know it is not temporary.
I like that you did this. From the beginning, tho, you made some very uninformed assumptions. Most people who use wheelchairs CAN drive, with hand controls installed in their vehicle. Sooo... why the rule about not being able to drive?? And your wheelchair of choice is not what most people who use wheelchairs every day use. The kind you used are very difficult to push... and heavy!
p.s. if you use something long, like a spatula, u can get things off the high kitchen shelves! U gotta b creative!
Ok, is you had better chairs you would be much happier. I understand what your going through (L3 Paraplegic) and one thing you should think about is, we learn how to cope and get around better. I deal with stairs and people staring at me everyday! But I love life.
i love this video hope people can understand when they watched this iv been in a chair for around 7-8years now il be 21 in june

Great videos. Being in a chair myself it's good to see that some people are gaining perspectives. :)

Who had you guys do the project, and it would be nice if this would be a state wide thing that happens on every college campus.
