This episode features the remarkable visit with Jeff Erlanger, a young boy who uses an electric wheelchair, explains about his disability and talks about some of his feelings. There’s also an electric car on this program, and Mister Rogers takes one out for a drive. It’s not easy to talk about some things, like divorce and disabilities, but the reality of such things is often less scary to children than the fantasies they may have about them.
Jeff's visit was one of Fred Rogers' favorite moments on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.
