Disability Pride Month - Day 5 Image Description: A black and white graphic showing a person transitioning from a wheelchair to walking, with the text “ambulatory wheelchair users exist.” The graphic emphasizes that some wheelchair users can walk but still rely on wheelchairs for various reasons. Today, I spotlight ambulatory wheelchair users. This image highlights an often misunderstood aspect of disability: the ability to walk short distances does not negate the need for a wheelchair. Many ambulatory wheelchair users face skepticism and judgment when they use their wheelchairs. It’s crucial to understand that mobility aids are essential for many, even if they can walk at times. #DisabilityPrideMonth #AmbulatoryWheelchairUsers #MobilityAids #InvisibleDisabilities #DisabilityAwareness #AccessibilityMatters #EndAbleism
