Sex/uality Artifacts

Hi Class! Again, my name is Alison Skok. I showed the video about a high school student who invented the wheelchair with capabilities to hold/push a baby carrier. This video relates to the sexuality and disability class material. This video proves many myths incorrect. Including the myth that people with disabilities should not have children. Because this invention is allowing an individual with disabilities to have easier access to a child carrier this is an example of the world becoming more accessible for people with disabilities.

One thing I thought that was interesting with this video, however, was this invention being advertised as a wheel chair/stroller for disabled moms. Maybe instead it should say a wheel chair/stroller for parents/caregivers with disabilities. The wording in the advertisement suggests that only disabled moms would use this product. Instead it should be more gender neutral.

Wheelchair strollers are on the market and seem to be easily accessible. Doing further research I found many different brands and styles. Just like there a many different styles of infant and toddler strollers.

Here is the link to the video I showed in class:
