When traveling, you may not think about all the ways that the American’s with Disabilities Act (ADA) has impacted you since it was passed on July 26, 1990.  There are often basic accommodations like ramps and handlebars in the bathrooms at hotels and rest stops, yet accommodations can be much more than that. To get ready for your trip, it is important to prepare by thinking  about what accommodations function best for your family and what you need.

There are so many new terms that have popped up recently regarding differences in the way that individuals experience the world around them.  These differences can show up in the way that people think, feel and act; they can originate from medical conditions, learning disabilities, mental health concerns, developmental disorders, and various other reasons.
