Welcome to A Blog About Travel with Special Needs Children.

As a pediatric neurologist, I spend a lot of time with families of children with special needs.  And, there is no shortage of such families.

Did you know: One in 5 families has a child with special health care needs.

One of the things they have in common is that they all travel.

These adventures can be short trips  or  longer odysseys. They may travel to grandma in the next county, a parent who lives in another state, or around the world.

 Many families take the children for treatments  and  therapies in other countries.  However, some families are susceptible to " Neuro flapdoodle"  promises.

While Jonathan Friedman remarked that the world is "flat", such is not always the case for families of children with disabilities.   Parents are  often isolated  and the typical travel guides don't give the important information.

 And,  as a parent of a child with some added physical needs,  I know that the best source of information is other parents.

 Bring  on the Internet!  I'm writing  and editing this blog to flatten this part of the world.

 let's see where this voyage takes us...
