Some tips on how to cope with special needs whilst in Orlando

[Mari]

Great thread!!! Thank you

A few tips we have found useful:

Re the above, (that might have been me in the airport), always seek out a first aid or medical room, or even a mother and baby room for changing older kids, all the parks and many airports, malls etc have them. The floor in a public toilet is a last resort.

A towel makes a comfortable and absorbant cover for a wheelchair allowing some air to circulate when it's hot and sticky and is easily washed.

You can buy an umbrella which clamps onto a wheelchair, useful as a sunshade too.

A cheap shower curtain makes a good easy to carry around mat for changing and is washable and wipeable. Alternatively buy some disposable or washable bed pads.

Wheelchairs are handy for carrying your gear around the parks, a rucksack will hang from the handles and hold it all neatly in one place.

fantastic tips!
