Health Matters

Two severely disabled people explain how they have used their experiences to help others. Lack of awareness of her condition prompted a woman with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome to form a support group. Also in the programme a man with spinal injuries explains how his experience led him to design a wheelchair for others with quadriplegia.
