"This chair is my legs - this chair is my life," says accessibility champion Jane Velkovski, who uses a wheelchair after being diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA).
With clarity and poise, he shares how his first motorized wheelchair empowered him with independence and ability - and why assistive technology should be available to anyone who needs it.
"Freedom of movement, no matter on legs or on wheels, is a human right," he says.
Jane Velkovski is a passionate football fan and disability advocate for every child's right to participate and play.
