Choosing
your cushion is one of the most important decisions you’ll make
when setting up your wheelchair. We lay out eight things to
consider when selecting the right one for you — from the obvious,
like pressure relief and stability, to the less-discussed, like
cleanability and weight.

THE GOOD
STUFF
Five Great
Barry Corbet Articles
The release of the documentary Full
Circle has put a new spotlight on Barry Corbet, who
edited New
Mobility from 1991-2000 and produced some of the most
powerful disability writing ever. We’ve compiled five of our
favorite Corbet articles exploring timeless themes like finding
paradise in our imperfect lives, coming to grips with the
inaccessibility of the natural world, and fearing loss of the
independence that we work so hard to gain.

Other than a
fireplace and a hot drink, what makes winter a little more bearable
for wheelchair users? Finding something to do in the snow. Seth
McBride shares how he turned an old all-terrain vehicle, a small
snow blade and one overly complicated transfer into an accessible
way to get rid of snow — and his cabin fever as well.
