|
| Through the presentation, he plays one-on-one games against students and teachers. These games serve to demonstrate the "ABILITIES" of a person in a wheelchair, and really capture the attention of your students. As Johnson beats the students and teachers in basketball, the students are faced with the realization that a person in a wheelchair really can do some of the same things they can.
