Holidays are an exciting and wonderful time for families to enjoy themselves, no matter what your circumstances are. Sometimes traveling with disabled children or a disabled family member can make the thought of going on holiday seem a little more complicated and stressful. Here is some advice to make sure your family holiday runs smooth and is as much fun as possible:

When youre travelling with someone who has disabilities it pays to think ahead. Generally a lot of places have tons of information about accessibility on their website but if theres something youre not sure of such as whether the accommodation has a lift or disabled friendly showering facilities, then its well worth checking out. Whilst youre looking at accommodation, google the area and see what attractions youd like to go to and make sure theyre disabled friendly too. If you cant find out, give the venues a call they might be able to make arrangements in advance.
