I Was A Wheelchair Kid

FacingDisability.com
Monthly podcast.

True stories of “wheelchair kids”—children and teens who were suddenly paralyzed and had to figure out how to navigate their lives in a wheelchair. 

 

These podcasts tell personal stories of how paralyzed kids went about finding their own solutions.  As children. They’re grown-ups now, but their childhood memories are still powerful. 

No boring lectures here, just real-life stories and funny moments about returning to school, finding ways to feel “normal” again, beginning to date and creating a new vision of the future for themselves—and much more. 


Each episode features one person’s true story.
