Notes From Our Guest Editor

Welcome and thanks for reading about making travel accessible and exciting for everyone. You can be sure this is a topic that is close to my heart. I write about the role of disabilities in the workplace for Forbes.com and cover wellness, mental health and learning disabilities in print and online. My book about raising quirky kids is titled The Elephant in the Playroom. Equally important is my favorite place to travel. That’s Fire Island, NY, where there are no cars—only the (mostly) quiet hum of families having fun. Spending time with my children and without the summer traffic that clogs New York City was pure heaven each summer, particularly for my son, who, as a young kid, had severe sensory issues. Safe travels and see you next month! In the meantime, find out more about our upcoming 2019 TravelAbility Summit in San Francisco —Denise Brodey
