#Paralympic Gold medal 🥇 archer Zahra Nemati 🏹 explains why using an efficient wheelchair is so important and how cities can be made more accessible for people with disabilities ⬇️

“a wheelchair resembles a pair of shoes” - exactly!! Wheelchairs (like any assistive products) are not ‘one size fits all’. Access = products AND systems to ensure the right type, fit, support. I can only imagine how Zahra felt at the loss of her own chair…

این تیرانداز ملی‌پوش ایران در این ویدیو که سازمان بهداشت جهانی - WHO تهیه کرده، به مشکلات ایرانیانی که ازویلچراستفاده می‌کنند بپردازد و توضیح می‌دهد که چه طور با فراهم کردن امکانات و تسهیلات مالیاتی می‌توان به این شهروندان فرصت داد تا توانایی‌های خود را بروز دهند.

The #Paralympics show what’s possible with assistive technology, but high costs keep it out of reach for many. To ensure fair competition and full participation, we must make these tools more affordable and accessible—on and off the field!

A clear message. Let increased access to assistive technology for all be a Paris 2024 legacy. GATE #ATChangesLives
