It’s a fact: a disability diagnosis for a child often puts a halt to parents’ travel plans. With ADA policies and a society where inclusion is beginning to trend, why is this still the case?

We asked hundreds of disability parents to identify one thing that keeps them from traveling. The following is what we learned. Some of these things have easy, readily available solutions. Some of them are real issues that need to be addressed by the travel industry and beyond.

None of these answers surprised me, but the order of frequency did! I only included responses that were received multiple times, and they’re in reverse order – like a top ten count down.
