February 5, 2010, Newsletter Issue #94: Using a Wheelchair

Tip of the Week

When you discuss someone being in a wheelchair, avoid saying confined to a wheelchair. Many people with disabilities are not confined, they just need to use the wheelchair for mobility.

Remember that just because a student is in a wheelchair doesn´t mean they´re mentally retarded, deaf, or has any other disability.
