As compared to a normal person, a person who is in a wheelchair has limited amount of mobility.

You could either do these exercises in a group with others or just on your own.

You can burn a good amount of calories whilst sitting down in a chair. Its all about choosing the right type of routine and then start working on it so that you become perfect and gain enough confidence to ignore your disability that has always stopped you from dreaming big.

If you are a beginner then the best strategy would be to start off with short exercise sessions so that you don't worn out too quickly. Its all about building your stamina and endurance.
