Disability Discounts


disability discount for downs syndrome child in wheelchair autistic chilld in school

Disability discounts seems to be one of our society's best kept secrets. Yet there are companies offer discounts for a variety of things. If you have a family with disabilities , this can make a real difference!

Most commonly, if you are travelling with someone in a wheelchair, places will not charge admission for one adult that is accompanying the person in the wheelchair. However, the person in the wheelchair usually pays full price

Many organizations don't advertise their discounts, so you'll have to ask, or hope that someone brings it to your attention. Don't be shy! Ask any organization that provides services to the public whether they offer a discount for people with disabilities or their escorts. As more and more companies realize how many people have special needs, discounts and other special services are being introduced regularly. You may be surprised at how many there are.

We're collecting information on places that offer a discount, and you can help too! Just add your tip about any disability freebie or discount that you know of by filling in the tip form below. My site will then create a web page highlighting each tip, and also provides visitors a way to add their own feedback about each place as well. A summary of tips is just below the form.
