Disabled tutors helping others in new city program

By Lu Feiran

Sitting up, turning over, getting out of bed, going to bathroom ... when the newly paralyzed learn how to take care of themselves step-by-step from scratch, they often remind 35-year-old social worker Xu Tingting of herself 18 years ago, when she knew that she was going to be a wheelchair user for the rest of her life.

Xu is now a teaching assistant with a mutual help program at the Shanghai Sunshine Rehabilitation Center. The program entails rehabilitation training that includes physical, eyesight, hearing, and mental and intellectual disabilities. Xu works for the physical disabilities group, which will serve 85 people for free this year.
