Jane Velkovski : The life-changing power of assistive technologies

Jane Velkovski·TED Salon: UNICEF
The life-changing power of assistive technologies 
Summary 

The speaker is a 13-year-old boy and a passionate football fan. He told us that in addition to that, he’s a kid with a disability, though, he’s free to go wherever by being independent with his chair. It was a donation from another family overseas. 

However, he knew that this assistive product isn't used by 90 % of people who need it and people only stare at it. 

If you see a wheelchair user, rather than staring and wondering about them, look around and see if there’s something you can do to help. From small changes,  be able to live with freedom and independence like him. 

Don’t lose your dream. 

He strongly believes that everyone can play all around the globe: men, women, abled, disabled, young, and old. He has a dream to be a coach of a football team. We need to make sure that everyone is able to play.
