Travel looks different when your child uses a wheelchair, walker, gait trainer, or adaptive stroller.
It takes more planning. More patience. More “just in case.”
But it also comes with something powerful:
1. independence
2. inclusion
3. small wins worth celebrating
To make travel smoother, we pulled together therapist-approved tips, like:
✈️ Call ahead and ask specific accessibility questions (not just “Are you accessible?”)
🧰 Pack a mobility toolkit (Velcro straps, zip ties, duct tape = lifesavers)
📸 Take photos of your equipment before flying + before gate-checking
⏳ Build in extra buffer time for transfers, terrain, and breaks
🎧 Bring comfort + regulation tools (headphones, fidgets, weighted lap pads)
Because travel doesn’t have to be off-limits — it just needs the right supports.
