This research paper: 8 pages in length. The stares – almost involuntary and quite palpable – become part of everyday life. The poorly concealed whispers are nearly always followed by accusatorily pointed fingers and expressions of muted scorn. Those who are able to overcome the obvious stigma-induced reaction to seeing someone in a wheelchair often go overboard in the opposite direction by being overly friendly, overly accommodating and overly obvious with their discomfort. What happens when such people spend twenty-four wheelchair-bound hours in order to gain a better understanding of the meaning of disability? Indeed, their levels of compassion, realization and reflection reach far beyond their previously small scope, and they are left with a tremendous appreciation for the way in which a disabled person feels on the receiving end of society's stigma-induced behavior. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
