Having a wheelchair can enhance a person’s mobility. This Christmas, you can get gifts for wheelchair users that can allow them to carry, store, wear and use everyday items that can be attached safely and securely to their wheelchair.
Here at Disability Horizons, we share 5 accessible and trendy gifts for wheelchair users, which are sure to glam up and modernise their chairs.
