Campaign idea: Ben writes scripts for television
People assumed Ben would never achieve academically or use a power chair. Now 17, he writes scripts and aims for television.
This story
Ben is a 17-year-old wheelchair user who requires round-the-clock care and communicates with unclear speech. People doubted what he could accomplish, but he gained a GCSE in English Literature and learned to navigate in a powered wheelchair. Supported to gain greater independence at college, he now spends evenings writing scripts and pursuing his dream of working in television.
