I will have to look for one of those bouncy places, he seems to like things geared for preschoolers. Though he won't admit it. Because he has no mental disability, he does not qualify for special olympics. Pysical disabilities and mental illness don't qualify them.

We have this same problem. I think my DD is very similar to your son in her physical limitations. I don't know where you are in texas but San Antonio has a number of wheel chair accessible things to do. Sea World would be excellent. THere is a really accesssible hotel that is out in the country (but near San Antonio) that has a lame lazy river (that I think he could do in a kids float--the 22 inch kind you buy at Walmart). THere is good music in family friendly "bars"

Can he swim? You might try getting him special needs swimming lessons. They are usually 1 on 1. I know those have been good for my daughter because they take into account her uniqueness in a way that other disabled activities really can't.

I know its a trek for you but he would actually GET special treatment at Disney World. And Daytona Beach is very close to there and you can drive onto the beach which makes it extremely wheel chair accessible. Maybe that is a family trip (or a special trip with just you, in an airplane) that he can work towards earning by not puking and eating for the rest of the summer. Then you could let him miss a week of school mid september (when its cooled off and the crowds have thinned out) and you can take him to Disney for a week.
