Camps and Travel

Regional Center is a popular route for funding camps, and you may be able to use private insurance if a licensed therapist is providing services at the camp.

We recommend that parents ask these three critical questions when searching for an inclusive camp to determine if it would be a good fit.

Camps operating on public grounds have to “provide your child with reasonable access to the program, and cannot discriminate based on any physical or intellectual disability that inhibits or affects a major life activity.

If the camp or class your child will attend is not very familiar with accommodating kids with disabilities, an inclusion aide can help facilitate socialization and full participation.

More theme parks and family-friendly attractions across the country are updating their services to create a more inclusive environment and welcome visitors of all abilities.
