This article shows great progress for inclusion of people with disabilities. However, the language in the article is not up to date or sensitive to people with disabilities. People who have mobility issues may "use a wheelchair", they are not "wheelchair bound". Indeed, a wheelchair is a liberating device that enables people with mobility issues to go places. Additionally, you should use "people first language". You should look up what that is as it is the appropriate way to address people with disabilities. We are not "the disabled", we are "people with disabilities." Thanks!
