SALT LAKE CITY — What is it like to travel with a disability? For the more than 573,000 people in Utah who have a disability, there are some helpful tips to travel with ease this summer, whether it's sticking around the state or heading elsewhere.
“The mission of the Split Second Foundation is to provide comprehensive care, resources, education and advocacy to families impacted by disabilities,” he said. “What I learned through my experience having a disabling condition and accident, was there just weren’t enough community resources to really help me with all of what I needed in terms of living a high quality of life.”
In the U.S., the Air Carrier Access Act prohibits airlines from discriminating against people with disabilities, but outside the country, most of those regulations are not enforced, so be prepared if traveling abroad.“Call the airlines and let them know what that challenge is so I can get my ADA seat, because a lot of times, I need a special chair to get on the plane, which is an aisle chair,” he shared.
