Reach For The Stars With Abbie

Hi guys  I’m going to base this blog on why I believe disabled people should be entitled to as much independence and opportunities as able bodied people. As a disabled person and a wheelchair user it frustrates me when people say to me something like why isn't someone doing this with you or where is your parents, er hello i’m 18 I know how to queue up and pay for something myself thanks.

Hello, I'm writing this blog to help people with disabilities or parents with children with disabilities. These pieces of equipment have helped me through the years to try to support me and make mine and my parents lives easier.

Without things like the wheelchair, walker, stedy standing frame, parallel bars etc I wouldn't be as independent and will find everyday tasks harder. This is my David Hart walker.

These come in all sizes and can be adjusted to suit the child or adult's size or ability as the company can add or take away straps as suits. It is really safe however should be only used on flat
