“All the kids at school are nice to me; they always say HI. But they never ask me to play with them. Sometimes I wonder if they are scared of me ‘cause I’m in a wheelchair.”
Through the eyes of a child some of the realities of being confined to a wheelchair are explored.
A child’s desire to be like the other kids and just have fun is put to the test. But first he needs to learn how to become independently mobile while being confined to a wheelchair before he can focus on mastering an activity such as basketball.
At times it seemed easier to give up then to keep trying; the struggle seemed too great
Can one child’s quest for independence and a dream to be part of a peer group be enough for him to take charge and overcome the obstacles?
