Your adapted holiday of a lifetime in Lanzarote 🏝 | Scottish holiday provider catering for people with disabilities ♿️ | Running LanzAbility and Adventure Holidays Lanzarote | Book a free holiday discovery call!
Last week two holiday guests cancelled at the last minute. Everything was ready after weeks of planning. We had booked accessible accommodation and hired the necessary disability equipment. A carer and a qualified nurse were scheduled to visit four times a day for two weeks. Additionally, we arranged suitable adapted activities on the island, and transport was organised. And then, a day before departure, I received an email: “I’m afraid my disability has gotten worse. I’m not fit to fly. Sorry, David.” Yes, sometimes situations like these happen. But it’s part of the very nature of LanzAbility. As a holiday provider for people with disabilities, a person’s disability may sometimes make it impossible for them to get on a plane and travel to the island. I could focus on the downsides. But I wouldn’t be Crazy David if I did that. Instead, I practice what I preach and focus on finding a solution. In fact, we’re already rescheduling their holiday for the near future. The team and I can’t wait to welcome you to Lanzarote for a holiday of a lifetime. And you know what people say, right? Anticipation is the greatest joy. 🏝♿️ #disability #adaptedholidays #Lanzarote #LanzAbility

Travel assistance plays a crucial role in promoting independence and improving the quality of life for individuals with disabilities, especially for participants of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Here are some broader benefits of travel assistance in this context: 1. Increased Access to Services: Travel assistance enables individuals with disabilities to access a wide range of services, including healthcare, education, employment, and social activities. This access is essential for their independence and overall well-being. 2. Enhanced Social Inclusion: Travel assistance helps individuals with disabilities participate in community activities and social events, fostering a sense of belonging and reducing feelings of isolation. 3. Improved Health and Well-being: Access to healthcare services is critical for individuals with disabilities. Travel assistance ensures they can attend medical appointments, therapy sessions, and other health-related activities, leading to better health outcomes and an improved quality of life. 4. Greater Opportunities for Employment: Travel assistance can facilitate access to employment opportunities by helping individuals with disabilities travel to and from work or job interviews. This support is essential for promoting economic independence and inclusion. 5. Enhanced Personal Development: Travel assistance enables individuals with disabilities to pursue personal interests, hobbies, and educational opportunities, contributing to their personal growth and development. 6. Reduced Reliance on Others: By providing the means to travel independently, travel assistance reduces the need for individuals with disabilities to rely on others for transportation, thereby increasing their autonomy and self-reliance. 7. Improved Mental Health: Access to transportation can have a positive impact on mental health by reducing stress and anxiety associated with limited mobility and isolation. Travel assistance plays a vital role in promoting independence and improving the overall quality of life for individuals with disabilities. By enabling access to essential services, facilitating social inclusion, and supporting personal development, travel assistance contributes significantly to the well-being of NDIS participants and others with disabilities. #WattleHealthcare #YourWellBeingIsOurPriority #NDIS #TravelAssistance #Independence #QualityOfLife #Accessibility #Empowerment #DiverseHealthcare #SupportCareServices #HealthcareServices #DisabilityCareServices #ComunityNursing #NursingServices #NDIsServices #SupportiveCare #Melbourne #Australia

Disability and relocation - this topic became newly relevant to our team recently as we put together an orientation programme for a client with mobility challenges. New thinking was required from our team to source accessible accommodation, rent mobility supports like wheelchairs and consider the impact of terrain in our planning. This article discusses emerging best practice for relocating assignees of all abilities, noting that the many major businesses have already signed up to disability charters - with a shout out here to our client KPMG New Zealand who is one of them! #relocation #expatsupportservicesnz #resettlement

When Callie had her amputation, we vowed that we would never let her prosthetic leg limit her in any capacity. Anything that she wanted to do, any activity she wanted to try, any trip she wanted to take we would do it and our motto quickly became “We will figure it out.” Nothing puts that moto to the test faster than traveling. So what does it mean to be a traveler with a disability? And how can we overcome the challenges that arise when we strike out on the road, into the air, and out to sea? While the answers to those questions vary greatly depending on the individual — the types and severity of disabilities, not to mention personal preferences all play a role — it’s absolutely clear for us, that traveling with a disability is not only possible, but also 100% worth it. Sharing our six tips to make traveling with a disability easier and shoutouts to companies that we love traveling with: #disability #disabilityadvocate #traveltips #travelingwithdisabilities The Walt Disney Company Southwest Airlines Marriott International
