– KSAT’s Solutionaries series shines a spotlight on the people, programs, and places that are finding ways to solve problems in our community. One person locally isn’t just filling a gap in San Antonio but across the globe.Hartman created the world’s first-ever all-inclusive theme park for people with special needs .KSAT’s Solutionaries team took a day to stroll around the park with Hartman, asking him to go back to the beginning.
“Morgan has everything that she needs. She has all the doctors. She has all the therapists. She has a great caregiver. She has two loving parents who serve as her navigators. That many times is an exception to the rule. We wanted other families to have that,” Hartman said., the first theme park in the world fully available to people of all abilities, where people with special needs can come without stress for free.
The sounds are not loud or high-pitched intentionally to avoid triggering people who are sensory-sensitive.“We went out to the special needs community. We went out to doctors, we went out to therapists, we went out to grandparents, we went out to caregivers. We had numerous town halls to learn, and then from that is how we determine what to build,” Hartman said.
It’s the framework of a massive solution for communities worldwide that struggle with ways to support their special needs families, especially when it comes to jobs or health care.
