Caroline's Cart Inventor Drew Ann Long Advocates For Those With Special Needs

Caroline's Cart

An Alabama woman is in Washington, D.C. on a quest to help children with special needs. Drew Ann Long is the inventor of what's called Caroline's Cart. It's a grocery cart designed to allow people with disabilities be a part of the shopping experience.

Long's advocacy for special needs individuals has taken her all the way from Alabama to Capitol Hill this week.

Alabama Public Radio's Ryan Vasquez recently spoke to her about what inspired her to develop Caroline's Cart and what she hopes to get out of her trip to Washington, D.C. this week.

Ryan Vasquez is a reporter and the former APR host of All Things Considered.
