Tips for Holiday Traveling with a Disability (Part Two)

There is a lot of planning and preparation that goes into traveling, especially when you’re traveling with a disability. You have to make sure that your equipment is sound and in good condition to travel, and you’ll have to book NEMT in Louisiana.

In our last article, we gave you 4 tips to help you travel safely during the holidays. Today, WE LIFT LLC Wheelchair Rideshare Service is giving you 4 more, just to make sure you’re all set and ready for your trip.

  1. Stay where you feel most comfortable and safe.
    Yes, your purpose for traveling might be to visit friends and family back home, but if that’s not necessarily the setting that brings your mind peace, we suggest you find a more suitable place to spend the duration of your time.
  2. Invest in a portable ramp.
    It’s important to be prepared for anything. Not all establishments are ready to accommodate disabled customers. Thus, having a portable ramp with you is an easy way to gain access to buildings that otherwise would’ve been inaccessible to you.
  3. If you have a service animal, don’t forget to address their needs during the holidays, too!
    Whether you’re leaving them at a sitter or bringing them along on your journey, make the reservations ahead of time so you have room for adjustments later on.
  4. Know your limits.
    it’s good to challenge yourself now and then, but when it starts getting in the way of your safety, it might be time to let go.
