this is a positive video where I share my key learnings and advice for people traveling with a disability while sharing some of the things I've experienced. I hope you find it entertaining and insightful!
You are gorgeous and amazing!
NY in the late 80s and early 90s was not to friendly to wheelchair users. I was just a kid and my dad could carry me and my brother lifted my folded wheelchair.
Your channel has helped me tremendously, I have a form of cerebral palsy, and I get around on a wheelchair, and this is all still very new to me, mine flared up late in life, and has been gradually getting worse, I appreciate your channel more than you can imagine
Thank you for sharing your input on travel with Scootz.
14:56 I would say that, whenever you use a new device, for mobility or otherwise, it's always a good idea to get to know it.
When my electric wheelchair had a problem in a small town in Thailand there was no accessibility technician available. But there was a local television repair shop. Electronics is electronics. The tv man got my wheelchair going again. At the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. the rubber came off my manual wheelchair and a passing VA physical therapist put it back on for me. Help can come from surprising sources. My worst was Atlanta airport. Stuck in an airport wheelchair at the ticket area for two hours with no one available to get me to the gate. I was going to miss my flight. I burst into tears in front of the airline office and a kind lady came out and located a "pusher" to get me to my flight at the last minute.
Mission accomplished. Very interesting and helpful. So far I don't have a mobility device, but I do have issues with anxiety and your tips are very applicable. Anything I can do to reduce anxiety is helpful.
This is a great video and very positive. You left me with a big smile. Thank you!
You are a CHAMPION!!!❤❤❤
thank you!
You are very welcome Chelsea I haven’t seen you in a while so I’m glad to see you again I really enjoy watching your videos and taking your journey with you
@@realchelseabear BTW I'm Originally from Long Island ;)
Love this video and can relate totally with scooter battery issues. I have learned with the beeps as well and my charger with me all the time. I would love to see your video for your travel to Europe and what was assessable
very interesting video, I bet a lot of people will be helped by this. By the way I was in Edinburgh also several times when I was stationed near there in the service. But that was about 50 years ago! Likely it's changed a bit by now. I'm hoping to get back to Scotland before my expiration date :)
I still wonder how much of this will apply to my kid. She still so far can get around without assistance although there is the ever-present possibility of a fall down.
I suppose only time will tell if she will want to use some sort of wheelchair, scooter, or walker/cane thing.
Good news is most fall downs these days seem like they'd be easily preventable, like not looking where she's going... 😮💨
Time will tell.
Great video always great to hear the positive or lesson learned. I’ve carried a cell phone battery charger with me because of getting stranded without a phone with a charge to make a call or get an Uber and charge my phone throughout the day now. At an airport once they damaged my manual chair and had to find a place when I got to the city to Help get it fixed. Definitely good things to know. I or recommended medical facilities are.
Thats the main message...plan all travel surroundings. I was in NYC in April, and never saw anything but very lengthy distances to your subway trains. I never saw disabled access to the subways, just lots of steep stairs. I remember walking long distances to subways in NYC. There is little access for disabled people.
unfortunately, yes
Wonder Woman with a BEAUTIFUL Smile , Always Conquering All Obstacles . . .
I’m surprised that the train wasn’t accessible. I guess NY has the money to keep paying those lawyers that sue places that violate the ADA act.
We haven’t had any major problems with wheelchairs. My son had an issue, mainly taking a wrong turn in SOFI stadium. We took a service ramp from the upper level all the way down to field level. It wasn’t very stressful, just inconvenient, long and no exits on the way down.
This certainly will be helpful for me when I get a scooter next year :D
Now she 1 beautiful person I love this women she doesn't let nothing stop her
Very positive video, chock-full of valuable information.
So beautiful and smart. Take care of yourself. Have a great day. ❤
Hello there Chelsea! I am a new subscriber to your channel, and I, too, have cerebral palsy. It is a pleasure to watch your videos, and I cannot wait to hear and see what you have planned for the remainder of 2023 and the upcoming year of 2024!
Great video , thanks for your big smile . God Bless .
Mike .
There is a big difference in electric powered vehicles scooters etc , you might look into a more powerful one that has boost power . It’s never fun to be going in reverse out of control 😮glad you are ok 👌
THANK YOU ! YOU ARE A SMART, STRONG, BEAUTIFUL WOMAN !
Thank you for sharing your experiences. You are correct and gave good advice. If a person has to rely on any type of device for mobility, tgrt should be very familiar with operation and the quick fixes to keep it going.
It amazes me that commercial airlines do not have standard operations of how to handle folks traveling with devices. Perhaps an ambitious, courageous young lady could lead the charge to "educating" air carriers and have standard procedures adopted to facilitate travel. That could be a full-time job, though.
I hope you are able to continue with these videos. I think you give a lot of encouragement to people that face the same challenges that you do.
I wish you all the best with your travels and hope you never lose that tremendous attitude. It would be a shame for anything to ever dampen that beautiful smile and twinkling eyes.
Always control your thoughts and use your strength to override any anxiety that comes up.
God bless you, young lady in all that you do. Stay safe in your travels.
I wish for you and yours to have a blessed and Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year.
Hugs from Texas.
Great video as always my friend Chelsea very relatable as always
thanks for watching!
I have mild spastic c p and Iam homeless in CA
Thankyou for phone travel info
When I go overseas with my family. I usually walk through the airport (or ask some one and they will push me in a wheel chair to my airplane and go on the plane with the ask for disabled to board. Rent the scooter from the place I’m staying at would make more sense to me and not give me a headache. I might be tired but oh well. It’s much faster in the long run
that sounds like a great option!
Hey Chelsea I also have CP I wanna struggle with anxiety so I think it’s very helpful for me to find somebody else that has my disability as well thank you
Love you little bear ❤❤❤❤❤
Your a Good Person. 💕💕💕💕💕
❤ im absolutely in love with you Chelsea!!❤
Sweetheart you tell them
After hearing all that 😮
all I have to say is bartender gimme a double! 🥃🥃😅😚❤
NYC sucks to get around in even if you're able-bodied! I really don't like it there, even though I live a short train ride away.
I people could be awful ignorant. You're doing all right by explaining people about your situation. Don't take it personal overlook it because people today didn't care about yourselves but I cared because you're a nice woman. And you're a very pretty and i'd like to get long hair that color the hair you're nice. I like you're when you're explaining things to me you're a good friend
I don’t always rely on scooter. I use my feet as well
It definitely wasn't Your fault for the late take-off. Nobody wanted to make a firm decision ON THEIR END! HOPEFULLY THEY learned from that situation, so others won't have to endure what they put You through. 😬
I hope so too!
You are so pretty
How fast can Skootz go and how fast would you like it to go?🤪😵💫😵🤩
Mega-scootz
Your so cuddly looking.. I don't see anything happening but smooches and fun... holding you watching movies and stuff 😙
New York is the worst !
I think you are hands down one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen! I'm not hitting on you I am just stating a fact.
Most of the things that you said is common sense
some of it, yes. all learning experiences.
Still get views of a video I've seen several times and nothing ever gets done to correct the problem. I'll probably be leaving this site in few days
