We’re leaving for Europe soon.

It occurred to me recently that this is kind of funny, with regard to disability.

All of us except for one person (- Mack, my youngest child), has a disability!

We’ve got my mom, who has an Acquired Brain Injury, PTSD, post concussion syndrome and dizziness and balance issues (related to her ABI). Then there is me, deaf with Traumatic Brain Injury and C-PTSD. Micah has Asperger’s and Moxie has Down syndrome!

I feel like this is a great thing – our disabilities play off of each other well. I also feel like us traveling is really teaching the kids so many valuable lessons in accommodation, organization, planning, and preparation.

I’m eager to connect with disability community in Europe.

So far, I have only managed to strum up the cool Deaf Club in Amsterdam, and this interesting blind-experience museum in Nijmegan. If you know of any cool disability-related spaces in Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Scotland, and Ireland (the countries we are definitely going to), tell me!
