For my community engaged learning project in this class I did the great wheelchair adventure. This assignment allowed me to have a glimpse into the difficulties that a person who is wheelchair bound faces with community mobility. I also learned about how important it is to have a wheelchair that is fitted to your body so that it won't cause any further complications. I think that this assignment really opened my eyes to how inaccessible the world is to so many people, and how we still have a long way to go when it comes to achieving accessibility for everyone.
