Pal Experiences is a nonprofit dedicated to making places more accessible and inclusive for guests living with developmental disabilities.

From the urgent care to the aquarium to an NBA game, your community is ready to explore.

70% of families with autism are socially isolated. Isolation can be a challenge for the 1 in 6 children who have a developmental disability.

Pal creates access and inclusion so everyone
gets to go

Families with disabilities are more likely to go out into the community if they know what to expect.

Just as a ramp helps someone who moves differently, Pal tools help people who think differently.

Pal exists to create access and inclusion to ensure everyone’s experience needs can be supported.

Pal Experiences’ digital tools inspire confidence in adventurers to explore everyday places throughout their community.

Become a Pal Place

“Before our partnership with Pal we had families come in that had a very challenging experience. They could not complete their journey, due to the sounds, due to the smells. After our partnership with Pal not only do they return, they have annual passes and come in on a weekly basis.”
