Every week I volunteer for Dart Sailability. I am going to have to show our members this blog post. They'll love it! With absolute precision, this is what we do to enable our wheelchair using members to get afloat.
Depending upon the vessel, they go afloat with or without their chairs.
What many folk don't know if they aren't wheelchair users is that the chair is very much part of the user's personal space, and not to be invaded, leant on, pushed about, knocked into, in the same way that you would not if they were seated elsewhere or standing up were they able to do so. And a little thought means you will crouch down to be on a user's level when having a conversation to avoid their for ever looking up at the standing folk.
Great post. Let nothing detract from the humour and the Ducking Stool image. I just hope to add to your readers' knowledge.
Good heavens! Hadn't been there for over twenty years...no such promised entertainment then, either...
ReplyDeleteWhat a strange sign.
