Abstract
- The article presents information on a disabled Omani individual and illustrates how he overcame the feelings of depression and suicide thoughts after his car accident. The person's quadriplegia is the result of a car accident in 1988. The person started using Microsoft PowerPoint software to create music videos made up of images to alleviate his disability in some sense. This gave him a creative outlet, enabling him to express his feelings about obstacles he faces as a disabled person in his particular sociocultural and familial contexts.
