This week, we’re joined by Sharon Newhardt, Director of Inclusion and Culture at Morgan’s, the groundbreaking organization behind an ultra-inclusive amusement park, water park, sports center, camps, and clinical facility in San Antonio, Texas. Morgan’s is dedicated to creating spaces that cater to individuals with disabilities and neurodivergent communities. Sharon takes us through Morgan’s inspiring journey, from the park’s inception to heartwarming stories like guests experiencing the joy of swinging for the first time. We also dive into the thoughtful design and considerations that go into building a truly inclusive environment. Morgan’s is at the forefront of innovation in accessibility, and the profound impact they’ve had on their guests is nothing short of extraordinary.
