they were trying to get up a steep hill but for every two feet they went forward, they seemed to go one foot backwards?
**Not electrical wheelchairs, the ones you have to actually push yourself in**

Would your answer change if you were going to meet someone and you were running low on time?

I would approach and ask if they needed help without trying to make them feel embarrassed. I might say, "Let me give you a hand." or, if they were carrying groceries, "Let me help you with those." In my opinion, eliminating the question cuts down on the embarrassment factor. If they don't want your help, they can still refuse it. It's frustrating when esp. older folks refuse help. They want to maintain their pride. I run into this @ the mall all the time. There will always be an opportunity to help. Thank you for your question. It is refreshing to know there is some kindness in a very unkind and selfish culture we live in.

I would ask the person if they would like some assistance before I actually touch the chair. You need to remember that the chair is an extension of the person and some people are very particular about who touches them and how they are touched. Touching someone's wheelchair without their permission is just like touching the person without their permission.

Offer assistance, no more. Everyone should be allowed to succeed on their own.
