Finding suitable activities for loved ones with developmental disabilities can be difficult. Many disabilities cause sensory processing issues that can make “normal” situations seem overwhelming. For a child on the autism spectrum, a trip to Disney World could be so over-stimulating as to be miserable. Fortunately, in today’s world, we are becoming better educated about developmental disabilities. There is an increasing number of opportunities for those with disabilities. A trail that recently opened up in Letchworth State Park is the first of its kind in the entire country. It represents a major step towards accepting neurodiversity by helping more people get out and enjoy nature.
