What I learned from a year in a wheelchair | Ariel Fishman | TEDxYeshivaUniversity

Ariel Fishman discusses what disability teaches us about adaptation, innovation, and - most importantly - our sense of identity. Following a serious car accident in 2012, Ariel has served as a volunteer speaker for the New York Blood Center and Challenged Athletes Foundation and been credited with raising over 1,000 blood donations. He currently works at Fordham University, having previously worked as an administrator and faculty member at Yeshiva University. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
