Disney is extremely dedicated to the disabled. I have been many times, and twice with disabled persons. All had a great time. Should just decide which park you would like to see, and call a rep for info.

There are LOTS of things to see and do at Disney! It is DEFINITELY worth the trip, even for a child with a dissability. Disney is prepared for circumstances like that. You can visit the Guest Services office (which are always located at the front entrance of the parks, just inside) and they can give you a Dissability booklet. This booklet will tell you what rides and shows are recommended and where to sit, what to do in general. They are excellent with stuff like that!
It's too bad you only have 1 day to visit Disney! They have 4 parks to visit! Go online to www.disneyworld.com and figure out which park you'd like to see. Or get yourselves a park hopper pass and hop around to as many as your can squeeze in that day. I recommend doing that. It's about $109 per person for a park hopper. But this way, if one park doesn't have as much things to see and do as you would like, you can move on to the next one.

You'll also love St. Augustine. Be sure you visit the Castillo De San Marcos National Monument. It's amazing! And the beaches there are gorgeous!

Have been to Disney a couple of times. I have also seen disabled children having a blast on several rides that the Disney folks consider safe, providing they can utilize the ride's seating system. Also, have been to Universal Florida. Another park you could consider is Sea World-Orlando. If you are only considering one day, you'd best pass on Disney, as that layout really takes almost a week just to navigate. Ideal place to check for more info is FLA-USA (I believe website is www.fla-usa.com), aka the Florida Welcome Center when you cross into Florida. Have a safe trip!
