Ambulatory Wheelchair Users Exist [CC]

#AmbulatoryWheelchairUsersExist I have heard various ways that people use to determine if someone is faking using a wheelchair; from"if a person using [a mobility aid] starts to run" (in the scenario I heard, it was a cane user running for a bus) to "if a wheelchair user has worn down shoes". In today's video I talk about some of the many reasons there are for people to use wheelchairs, how this prejudice is reinforced, and how to work to prevent violence/harassment toward disabled people with non-apparent disabilities.
