  • Oliver, who is nearly 2 years old, was awe-struck when he noticed an in-store ad featuring a boy using a wheelchair, just like he does. His mom captured the now-viral moment in a photo and Kelly brings Oliver and his mom on the show to meet the boy in the ad, 10-year-old Colton, who has spina bifida. The two kids show how much representation of people with disabilities matters.

    Kelly and her team are amazing!! Besides genuinely caring, they are raising awareness. 5 of my siblings were born hearing-impaired. Our strong mother started us working as kids to develop confidence & responsibility. They paid for their education and still work as a social worker, master electrician, junior accountant, Christian minister, and paramedic. I'm humbled every day by their example. Many people don't realize someone with a disability must work harder every day to perform at the level of a non-handicapped person, so raising awareness on any level or age using her platform shows remarkable consideration.

    I love Kelly's attitude towards all this. I too am wheelchair user and I see so many that praise us as superhumans... She is so natural, we are all equal after all.

    Love this segment! I want to point out to you, Kelly, that Colton is not "wheelchair bound" as you said at the .15 mark. He uses a wheelchair for access! His mother sat him on her lap. He's not "bound," by any measure. We need to be mindful of how we say things. Thanks for adding the #captions, by the way!

      Larry Littleton I’m permanently in a wheelchair, but can be moved into other “chairs,” I consider myself to be wheelchair bound, it’s not a “bad” term. At least not IMO, I’m sorry you feel this way, I’m not sure if you are, or have someone you know in a wheelchair, but for me, being in a wheelchair, I don’t feel offended if someone says I’m wheelchair bound. I know she doesn’t mean that this kid is in his chair 100% of the time. Nobody who is in a chair is. 😊 I hope I said this the right way, I have TBI & can often come across the wrong way, please note that I truly mean no disrespect, I’m just stating my opinion! Just as I value yours!

      ​@@kariking8752 When referring to people who use wheelchairs, avoid terms such as "wheelchair bound" or "confined to a wheelchair." Wheelchairs do not confine people with disabilities. The terms “confined to a wheelchair” and “wheelchair bound” are judgements by people without disabilities about how it would be to live life in a wheelchair. For those who do not rely on wheelchairs, they may see life in a wheelchair as limiting, confining and restricting. I'm pretty sure you don't sleep in your wheelchair, so the word, "bound" is not one to use. I'm more sorry you feel bound to your chair. Yes, I've used wheelchairs in the past, fortunately, only for 6 months at a time.

      @@larrylittleton8702 let me get this straight... you've only spent 6 months in a wheelchair & you're going to tell someone who actually spends the majority of their time tooling around in one, how she should refer to herself? And then you link in a 2015 "article" (read; someone else's views on the topic), come on...
