This guide is an invitation for locals and visitors with special needs to explore the sights, sounds and flavors that Santa Cruz County has to offer. It has been written primarily to meet the needs of wheelchair users, people with developmental challenges, and their caregivers. We’ve included some resources for people with visual and auditory impairments, but our focus for this guide came from the community that Shared Adventures works with most closely. This emphasis in no way reflects an issue of value or judgement — our goal is to be sure that everyone is accommodated.
If you are living with an auditory or visual impairment and would like further information and helpful resources, please contact the Vista Center for the Blind (458-9766) or the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Service Center (753-6540 or 753-6541 TTY) (see listings in Social Services).
