November 2005. Special Report: When a leading Caribbean resort chain starts changing its tune about children's programs and requisite family activities, everyone listens.

I was expecting commentary about and for families where one member or more has a disability. That is what is conventionally referred to as a special needs family. So I wasn't pleased with this article.

The term 'special needs,' as you mentioned, encompasses such a wide range of disabilities and issues for families that FTF only labels those properties where we know the children's staff is highly trained as being appropriate for 'special needs.'

The training at both Beaches properites, as noted in the story, is exceptional, and the attentive childcare and high staff-to-child ratio make me feel confident recommending either resort to everyone.

Families who would like specific suggestions for vacations appropriate to their unique needs may use FTF's custom trip-planning service to find a match.
