Glasgow based filmmaker Kiana gives us some tips on how NOT to make things awkward when it comes to physical contact with someone in a wheelchair. Nope, she is not a china doll, you won’t break her. Yep, she is a hipster and she appreciates hugs. Kiana urges you to stop and think, what would you normally do if the person wasn't in a wheelchair? You should probably do the same thing with someone who IS. Easy!
