My friend Fran has been in a wheelchair since she was eighteen years old. She retired as a social worker when she was seventy. Since then she has worked as a voluntary teacher’s aid at the local primary school. A couple of years ago Matthew was one of her students. Nine-year-old Matthew was big for his age, not good at reading and not very communicative.

At the end of the year Matthew’s mother came to see Fran. The mother said how much more talkative her son had become. He now told her about his lessons and often said ‘I like Fran very, very much’. As the mother left, she put her hand on Fran’s arm and said, ‘Matthew never told me you were in a wheelchair’.
