Nearly 30 park sites, including all five of Utah's national parks, now provide adaptive trail equipment.

For writer Jaclyn Greenberg's son and herself, this growing trend meant hiking together without having to turn back.

Are your races inclusive to adaptive athletes?
Depending on a few factors this can be as easy with education and awareness or sometimes it takes a little bit more strategy and thinking about accommodations.

Thanks New England Green River Marathon for working with us and showing that inclusion isn’t as difficult of a hurdle as you imagine it to be.

Opportunities are in a spectrum, and all are possible!!!

We are here to help!

There are two questions you can ask a person about their service animal. Do you know what they are?

I have had some interesting encounters with people regarding my service animal and I’ve seen my friends deal with this too. Yes, there are gonna be the jerks out there that pretend they have a service animal and buy the vest on Amazon. There are also those that think and emotional support. Animal is the same as a service. They are not!

It is unfortunate that there are the tubs out there and the ones who that education helps us all!!

CALL TO ACTION!
rule is up for comment. If you are a person who uses a mobility device and or you like to play outside, get in there and make a comment!!! 👊🏽

Comment suggestions!

— Define access by design purpose and need — not by what terrain a device can physically handle

— Don’t classify adaptive devices as restrictable “OPDMDs” based on whether it made for indoor use. These devices, like hiking boots, are suitable and usable indoors but were made for the purpose of outdoor locomotion and access.

— Throttle control for mobility devices users isn’t a convenience — it’s essential for riders without the hand, arm, or grip function to pedal.

— New rules must supplement, not replace or narrow, existing rights under the ADA and other disability-access law

— Assess devices case-by-case, based on disability need — no blanket bans or blanket approvals by device type or wattage.

— The Forest Service should evaluate other federal and state agencies’ approaches to adaptive mobility devices — and adopt the most inclusive, not the most restrictive.

Disabilities differ and so does terrain, wheelchairs are not one size fits all. Pavement and packed gravel is not the only part of the world we wanted to move through.
