Kind of sad in a way, these days (postADA) a Student who uses a wheelchair that can communicate easily with others, such as Wes, would be attending a regular classroom with some adjustments done instead of being educated separately in an Special Ed Classroom. Even a kid with dyslexia or dyskalculia could request up to a certain level a regular class to be adjusted. Some exceptions of course, private and even some charter schools (depends on the School and the State rules) can simply choose to not enroll a disabled Student. Again these days they don’t do it directly but look for some way to “filter” kids when choosing who is accepted or not.

I guess wheelchairs are a novelty if you don’t actually need one

Never find out if you don’t ask, I guess.

If he still wants to see his chair in one piece, instead of in a Sunday cartoon.

With kids, hankering after is the ultimate complement.
