Compulsory Experiment

The wheelchair experiment introduced me to a world that I have never known. I have never been in a wheelchair or been affected by any form of hearing, visual, or physical disabilities. So, this experiment caused me to really think about how the layout of a space, weight of doors, etc. could affect someone. While using the wheelchair, I felt as if I was in the spotlight every time I entered a room or crossed paths with a group of individuals. People would look on as I posed in the wheelchair and give either confused, amused, or disapproving looks. Some people would try to help if he/she saw that I was having a hard time opening a door or moving around. The wheelchair was very hard to move in at first, but I eventually learned how to work it
