Are There Wheelchairs in Heaven: ADA Trainer Network Module 2h Are There Wheelchairs in Heaven: A different perspective on disability Important: Please clearly state that the purpose of this clip is NOT to question participants’ religious beliefs The purpose of this audio clip is to present the idea that disability does not always mean limitation. Ben Mattlin eloquently challenges the assumption that people with disabilities always want to escape their disability. He puts forth the idea that the disability can be a part of “who you are.” Trainer’s Name Trainer’s Title Phone Number Email/Website Here
