How families with disabilities travel together | USA TODAY

Bethany Hildebrandt is meticulous about planning trips around her family's needs as her eldest child, Kaylee, has cerebral palsy.

CP is a group of brain-related disorders that impairs muscle control.While it can present in many ways, Kaylee's case is moderately severe and requires full-time wheelchair use.

Before any trip, Hildebrandt makes every effort to figure out how accessible the destination really is and finds specific details are rarely available, so when they travel, she tries to post reviews and share firsthand experiences and tips with other families through her website.

  1. My husband and I are both disabled. I have cerebral palsy also. We always find it interesting that wheelchair accessible doesn’t mean that a place is “wheelchair friendly”. We’ve been using that term for while now when looking for accommodations. Many places are wheelchair accessible, which I think they take as you can get in the door, so we’re accessible. My personal pet peeve is wheelchair accessible bathroom stalls that don’t fit a wheelchair! Just saying.
