# Accessibility guides

Every ORD guide on accessibility and assistance: 4 guides, each answering one question.

Updated October 31, 2026

Getting through ORD with a disability or reduced mobility: how to arrange wheelchair assistance, accessible parking, quiet rooms and support for hidden disabilities where the airport offers it. The guides explain what to request and when, and the accessibility page lists where the airport places each service.

The Companion Plus Restroom in Terminal 2 has a ceiling lift and an adult changing table. Every restroom is accessible, and two airport lists disagree.

[Autism-friendly and sensory travel at O'Hare](https://ordairportguide.com/guides/autism-friendly-sensory-travel-at-ohare/)

O'Hare publishes sensory maps, a social story, point-of-view videos and sensory bags at the information desks. It lists no sensory room.

[First aid, defibrillators and medical help at O'Hare](https://ordairportguide.com/guides/first-aid-defibrillators-medical-help-at-ohare/)

The airport's terminal map marks defibrillators in every terminal and a United Health Clinic in Terminal 2. Police and Fire share one number on the Terminal 2 map.
