While inquiring online for my last post, I found the website The National Center on Accessibility (NCA), http://www.ncaonline.org/. “The National Center on Accessibility promotes access and inclusion for people with disabilities in parks, recreation and tourism.” It is an awesome resource for families and individuals with disabilities. When I pulled up the link  Access A to Z, it allowed me to look at information from beaches, museums, picnic areas, to golf course that are accessible to all. The site offers an abundance of helpful tips and information for families and individuals.

My blog’s focus is parenting a child with a disability and stressors that they may experience. I can’t imagine wanting to go somewhere or do something but being worried that there won’t be the necessary accommodations for your child. I believe that the NCA site could help families with the stress of vacationing, weekend getaways, and recreational possibilities. I would definitely recommend this site to families.  

Traveling with my family, we have to make allowances for my daughter’s allergies. She is limited on what and where she can eat. We love to go to Disney Florida. Disney goes out of their way to make accommodations for individuals with special needs and disabilities. All of the restaurants affiliated with Disney that we have visited have made my daughter feel welcome. The chef comes out and speaks to us and ensures us that every precaution will be taken to prevent cross contamination. The restaurants at the parks provide a book that lists all the ingredients in their food and you can make requests. Snack bars also offer fresh fruit, which allows Kirsten to get a treat with her brother (he doesn’t have allergies). I may sound like a spokesperson for Disney but they do a wonderful job!
