The wheelchair comes up after the deposit.
Every time.
Because nobody offered. And nobody asked.

The Problem
Dad uses a wheelchair.
One of the kids has sensory needs. Grandma is coming too — and she needs rest breaks built into everything.
You found out after the deposit.
Not because you didn't care — because nobody ever taught you what to ask, or when to ask it.
So you called the hotel. Took their word for it. Booked the room marked "accessible" and crossed your fingers.
Sometimes it works out.
But sometimes your client arrives to a roll-in shower with a lip, a toilet with no transfer clearance, and a bed nobody can get into.
And you find out when you get the call.
The Solution
The Accessible Travel Red Flag List gives you 12 specific warning signs to check before you confirm any accessible booking.
Not after. Before.
Hotel red flags. Bathroom red flags. Destination red flags. The details that never show up in a listing and never make it into a confirmation email — but determine whether your client's trip works or falls apart on arrival.
ADA compliant does not mean usable. This checklist tells you the difference.
Who We Are
This wasn't built by a travel blogger.
The Accessible Travel Red Flag List was designed by two Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants — each with 11 years of clinical experience in rehabilitation and skilled nursing — who got tired of watching travelers with disabilities get left behind because their advisors didn't have the right tools.
We are both COTAs. One of us is also a travel advisor who saw firsthand how badly this framework was needed inside the industry and built BBTA to bring it here.
The other doesn't just understand accessible travel professionally — she lives it. Her husband is a wheelchair user. Her daughters are neurodivergent. She has planned and navigated travel for the people she loves most, with the same needs as your clients. She knows what it feels like when a trip goes wrong because someone didn't ask the right questions. And what it feels like when it goes right because someone did.
This is clinical expertise applied to travel. Not a compliance checklist. Not an ADA awareness handout.
The real framework. Free.
