"Respect It" Designs

For people who live in wheelchairs and use them most of the time, they receive a custom-built chair. These types of wheelchairs are designed from the ground up to both fit the person perfectly and be easily controlled by them. In the case of manual push chairs this can mean getting lighter frames or assistive technology so that he person can independently get where they need to go. Because these wheelchairs are built so particularly, they fit like a glove and feel like part of your body. People in these type of chairs propel themselves independently and don’t take lightly to being grabbed without warning and pushed around, especially since most of the time they don’t even need the help! Being in a wheelchair doesn’t suddenly give nurses and doctors the right to grab or move you without permission, because it is part of your body. It would be like grabbing someone by the arm and dragging them away without warning. So always ask before touching somebody’s wheelchair. This handy designs help tell people to back off in a quick way, letting them know that it’s your body, your rules.
