Travel Tips
When traveling with limited mobility, it’s important to plan ahead and consider accessibility. Research accessible destinations, accommodations, and activities.
Pack essential mobility aids such as a lightweight wheelchair or mobility scooter, depending on your needs. Check with airlines to see what accommodations might be available for you. Pack medical equipment in a separate bag so it doesn’t count as a one of your carry on items.
Contact your chosen destination in advance to inquire about accessibility features, such as wheelchair ramps, accessible bathrooms, or walk in showers.
Don’t let limited mobility stop you! You might find out that you can do things with limited mobility that you never thought possible!
