When I broke my toe, myself and the other people in airport wheelchairs started the boarding process first, but by the time the passenger lift had gotten us all onto the plane, everyone else was on board and in their seats. Depends on the airport but obviously in this case it's better for everyone if the wheelchair users get started first, as they are on the critical path for the plane departing.
