Create a more predictable, supportive, and inclusive experience for guests with developmental disabilities
A Pal Place is a community destination that partners with Pal to make visits more accessible and inclusive for people with developmental disabilities.
We work with you to create practical accessibility tools that help families feel prepared, supported, and confident exploring your place.
Pal Places Tools are free for families, because access shouldn’t cost extra.
Pal creates customized tools that help families feel supported before—and during—their visit.
We create:
✓ A video showing what to expect
✓ Insider tips and sensory information
✓ Communication tools
✓ Information about accommodations
✓ A resource families can use before and during their visit
Everything is designed around the real experience of visiting your place.
Going somewhere new can be hard when you don’t know what to expect.
Pal helps make the unknown more predictable.
Our tools give families the information they need to decide, “We can do this.”
They can prepare.
They can visit.
They can participate.
And they can come back.
By making your place more predictable and supportive, you can welcome families who may have previously felt that visiting wasn’t possible.
Help families who may have avoided your organization feel prepared and confident to visit.
Give guests practical information they can use before they arrive and throughout their visit.
Move beyond a statement of inclusion and provide tools
families can actually use.
Join a growing network of organizations working with Pal to create more inclusive communities.
Our tools are built for real experiences—not assumptions.
We visit your location, identify potential sensory, communication, and environmental challenges, and work with your team to create tools that reflect what families will actually encounter.
We spread the word! Through press releases, social media, and partnerships with local disability support organizations, we help families discover your Pal Place and the resources available to them.
Whether you are just getting started or ready to build on existing efforts, we can meet you where you are.
And more! If it involves accessibility and inclusion, we’d love to help.
Us too!
Pal can work with nonprofit partners to help with fundraising, grant collaboration, or creative donor opportunities to help cover the cost of creating your tools.
Let’s find a way to make it work.
Schedule a meeting with Pal and let’s explore how we can help you become a Pal Place.
We can’t wait to help you be the best to every guest!
