Resumo |
The paper presents the social justice findings from a study into the Australian (wheelchair) seating service experience. As this study explored the insider's perspective, three participants' examples are shared (in the presentation) to demonstrate the benefits accorded to equality, equity and equal opportunity and the injustices experienced when denied; <br />- Brian* (pseudonym) a young Australian whose two accessories for his power chair changed his life.<br />- Donna* whose adult son was provided a heavy standard manual wheelchair instead of the power chair requested.<br />- Vince* a young self-employed businessman whose newly provided robust power chair is crimping his productivity. |
