Traveling with SCI: Finding your Comfort Zone

Are you interested in travel but not sure how to manage with a spinal cord injury? Whether your goal is to bum around Australia, go to Disneyland or attend a wedding across the country, it is still possible to travel and have a great time doing it. Several individuals with spinal cord injuries will share their wisdom and lessons learned about traveling domestically and abroad. A travel agent who specializes in clients with disabilities and also has tetraplegia (quadriplegia) will discuss trip planning and know-before-you-go essentials. Whether by land, air or sea, there are more travel options available for individuals with spinal cord injury than ever before. Come to this forum for encouragement, inspiration, and practical information about traveling with SCI.
