Tips for Traveling with Physical Disabilities

Episode Highlights

I had a great talk with Win Charles, an author and disability advocate who has cerebral palsy, about what it’s like for her to travel with her physical disabilities. Win also offered tips for those traveling with different types of disabilities, though the focus was more on her type of disabilities. As you’re listening, please keep in mind that there are so many different types of disabilities. If you have any type of disability or will be traveling with someone with a disability, I recommend contacting in advance of your trip the airline, auto rental company, hotel, and any other travel-associated business you will be using to discuss your party’s particular travel needs and to discuss those businesses’ policies, so you’re not surprised during your trip. 

Win mentioned using Visiting Angels to help while traveling. Learn more about Visiting Angels here.
