Ambulatory wheelchair users; who are they?

The term ambulatory wheelchair user refers to people who have a disability or chronic illness and use a wheelchair, though they may have some capacity to walk in limited and particular circumstances. Invisible and chronic illnesses exist among all age groups, from the younger to older generations. Whilst awareness campaigns about invisible illnesses, including those of ambulatory wheelchair users, have been running for some time many people still face discrimination, judgement and sometimes even abusive behaviour or harassment towards them from members of the public. It is often a case of others simply not understanding the nature of an invisible disability. However, it is important for users of wheelchairs and other aids to feel safer from prejudice, and this article will help explore and challenge the outdated stereotypes that still exist. <a href="https://medium.com/@nicola.sarsfield/ambulatory-wheelchair-users-who-are-they-a78c2592c893">Website</a>
