Making Fairyland More Accessible


By C.J. Hirschfield

Tory Rose Full will graduate from UC Berkeley this year with a double major in psychology and social welfare. But we think it’s her minor – “education and the developing child” — that led her to become Fairyland’s UC Berkeley Public Service Center intern.

When she arrived, she took on a project we’ve long wanted to implement: increasing Fairyland’s accessibility for guests with special needs. We want to create more opportunities for guests with special needs to connect to the park – not just by removing barriers but also by delivering active benefits. We’re delighted about the work she’s doing, and thought you might want to hear about it.
