First of all, I agree with the posts already listed…..ASK. Always ask. Why ? The answer is this: By not asking the person you rob that person of their Human Dignity. They for the moment have lost CONTROL of a small portion of their life, and you have hijacked it away. You have robbed them of the dignity of CHOICE. Next: Don’t use the term ‘wheelchair BOUND’ it is offensive. Why? It says that the person is a prisoner of their wheelchair. People that use wheelchairs don’t see it that way. For them the wheelchair is not a form of ‘CONFINEMENT’ but a form of liberty and profound freedom. They view their wheelchair as you view your car. It takes you where you want to go. You are no more ‘CONFINED’ to your car then the Person useing their wheelchair. Out of bed, out of the house and go….. That isn’t ‘CONFINMENT’ it’s ‘LIBERTY’!!
