I was recently reading about a convention that’s being set up to help writers learn to write fight scenes better. It got me thinking that writers might like a resource that will help them with visualizing how people with disabilities move or accomplish tasks.

To start out I’m linking some YouTube videos that will allow you to observe some of the actions you may be trying to put into words.

I hope these videos will help you visualize how your characters move or how they might do some every day things.

Eventually I’d like to include interviews with people who are both writers and have disabilities to give you tips for your books.

Don’t forget that we also have a book that gives an overview of various types of physical disabilities you might be writing about and what cliches to avoid: You Can Write Characters With Physical Disabilities
