- "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.

Well, we’ll be hearing from this kid for years and years to come. Great speaker, engaging personality- he’ll have a real impact on this cause. Big fan.
What a beautiful human. Well done young boy, well done.
This young man is 20 years younger than myself but literally has 20x more charisma!
What an amazing public speaker with such an important message!
You sir, are destined for greatness! ✊
They way I look at people with similar conditions as you is that you all have the potential to be the next Stephen Hawkins of your field/interests! You are all beyond value to our society!
In a way, I am a little jealous because you don't have to waste your valuable time away at a 9-5 labor intensive job but can instead focus on what you are passionate about!
Never stop, my friend!
This kid is a fantastic speaker! So eloquent and mature. Interesting and evocative in speech, gesture, timing, and dynamics. And all of that not even in his first language. Add to that he is intelligent and wise, and promoting wellness for all of human society, by promoting health and happiness for a marginalized group.
I stand in solidarity with anyone who stands for liberty and justice for everyone !! ❤
You are the strongest young man i've ever seen, keep up hero
We love you Jane ♥️
Jane Velkovski your words are amazing.
What a smart kid with a good spirit. We all need each other's help.
Jane you are inspiration ❤️
Your a hero to many Jane. God bless you.
They know of you but they don't know you, let their eyes see what they want, I see a very strong soul above and beyond that chair... 👍💯💯💯
02.19.22 #janevelkovsky I'm humbled by your courage, strength, resolve, and incredible insight to want to make a difference. I'm certain you will reach public policy makers in governments around the world and I will do my part to re-post and reach out and share to help you make that difference. I admire your courage and strength. God bless you and your family and those with same or similar challenges dear child. Dear TH-camrs, let's help by sharing🙏
Great video. Great speaker
OMG he even can't walk but it seems by his confidence and fully passionate. he is really a champion of football may god give you more strength to forward
This is spot on. As a blind teenager attending a regular school and surrounded by sighted people, I see firsthand how non-disabled people see people with disabilities. There is a General misunderstanding of people with disabilities because non-disabled people see people with disabilities as less because of the things they can’t do or need help doing. There also is a lack of resources or support for people with disabilities to give them the same opportunities that everyone else gets.
I love that we as a society have progressed at least enough that some who are blind can communicate in text. We can make things even better for all of humanity if we keep moving in this direction. Every one is valuable, everyone is worthy. Everyone can have peace and prosperity if we can just stand in solidarity for the betterment of all.
One of my own sisters is going blind, so just reading your comment helps me feel a little more positive. Thank you!
Keep being you !! ^-^
As another AT user, thank you for your advocacy. I love your emphasis on interdependence
He's so adorable
Stay safe and blessed ❣️
Hey Jane, your speech was meaning to me. I was touched by you that even you are a disabled, your passion to football and living. Also, I was amazed that today, ther's still many people not affortable to get a wheel chair. Yeah, I thnk you're very lucky. I agree that policy makers should consider a social weakness and make more chance to them.
I respect your saying that " All that they should move is the barrier"
Thank you, Jane, for your intellect, message, time, and sharing of your experiences. Well done.
Clever and deep boy 👍🏻👍🏻. Amazing life story
Jane, you are wonderful! Keep doing it! ❤️❤️❤️
We have technology in 2022 that can provide access to everyone and most things. Printing machines and AI and robotics. Dream large my friend. You are able to inspire and encourage greater consideration for all.
Respect, I admire his determination !
You are lucky brother, keep fighting the fight, but the world is so complex and full of different people, emotionaly and logistically, we will get there! Ya Aussie bro!
God bless this kid!!!
Beautiful.
This was a great video and it really opened my wiew on the part of physically disabled people. I really do not like the word as what I really want to do is help the people and putting a label on people is just very bad and keeps our mind focused on a sigle path. As a whole group and not only ones as single, I really appreciate how you are able to talk about a disability and give me perspective from your part, that is something I have not understood before and what you really gave me is a multitool. I really appreciate how you think and your wiews, and really this opened my worldwiew in ways no one else ever has done. Thank You!
So inspiring, what an amazing guy!!
Wonderful talk! I hope the new mediction is available to you and that it helps you to keep doing all the wonderful things you do! Unfortunately, there are so many that cannot, and this is something that also needs to be available to everyone
You go, dude🤘
Very powerful!
I hear you - you are so cool 💫💯🦸♂️
Conquer the world, little man. 🙂
