Good Neighbor Insurance has a new series on Traveling With A Disability. They have been publishing helpful links, tips and guidance, so far covering travel with a disability, mobility and physical disabilities, deaf and hearing impairment, and plan to publish articles on blindness, cognitive disabilities, and much more.
They’d love feedback as well to make the guide better, esp. by experienced travelers.

Hi Jenny,
Thanks for the great tips and also the video on how to board a plane using an aisle chair.
I appreciate the freedom and confidence you give others to get out there and try new things!
Feel free to email or post on the blog any other tips or encouragement that you wish someone would have thought to tell you before you started traveling a lot. It will help the next person.
