How to ensure your disabled child has the best possible access to shopping and fun activities

Variety Pod-Ability is a podcast for parents and families of children with disabilities and special educational needs (SEND). Podcast

When disabled children want to shop, or enjoy leisure activities like the cinema, they face barriers like blocked aisles, a lack of wheelchair ramps, buildings without lifts, inaccessible toilets and no step-free access.  Meanwhile, for learning-disabled children or those on the autistic spectrum, a city environment can be a sensory minefield. In this episode we look at what parents of disabled children can do to get their child the best access to leisure activities and shopping experiences.
