This Disability Pride Month let’s educate our learners about accessibility by exploring one way that technology can support people with physical disabilities. In this hands-on activity, students can build a wheelchair model using paper, deepening their understanding of mobility aids. This craft highlights the importance of accessibility and provides a creative way to learn about the components of a functional assistive device. While assembling the wheelchair, discover how each part works together. Encourage learners to reflect on the specific role of each component, reinforcing the vital connection between technology and accessibility.

Take a look at the video below to see a sped up version of the process and the image above for the final product.

Use the template and instructions to get started.

We’d love to see your creation! Send us snapshots of your completed wheelchair model to info@thence.us to be featured on our socials or tag us on Linkedin or Instagram!
