Overview

I am an occupational therapy student who spent the summer of 2018 working at a summer camp for physical and mental disabilities in the US. From this I was given an insight to all of their joys and struggles in life. One of the main struggles being the accessibility we provide to this population. When campers arrive in town for their town trip, they avoid most places as these are inaccessible and instead, stop off at the magical Cheesecake Heaven. This is a place of both inclusivity and escape for our campers which they love! Cheesecake Heaven is wheelchair accessible, has open minded staff who try to cater for all and a great menu. Sometimes it would be rather busy due to its location, the tourists and its good reputation which was not always ideal when some campers cannot self-regulate. However, there is a few tables out front where they could take five minutes. The staff were lovely and not patronizing to the campers which was one of our favorite aspects of this place. There was plenty of room for people who use wheelchairs to move around the building. Also, there was high, low, hard and soft chairs to suit the different heights and needs of our campers. In addition, toilets were available to customers which were also wheelchair accessible. Overall, this place was a town trip staple for our campers and I believe it will be for a long time.
