I stumbled on a few resources for traveling with a disability.
Wilderness Inquiry (WI) is a non-profit organization that helps people from all walks of life to personally experience the natural world. We believe there is nothing like being there to fully appreciate the environment and the people we share it with. Each year we operate more than 100 multi-day trips to locations around the world. In addition to these trips, we offer a variety of daylong programs, training sessions and other events.

The Society for Accessible Travel & Hospitality (SATH), founded in 1976, is an educational nonprofit membership organization whose mission is to raise awareness of the needs of all travelers with disabilities, remove physical and attitudinal barriers to free access and expand travel opportunities in the United States and abroad. Members include travel professionals, consumers with disabilities and other individuals and corporations who support our mission.

Access-Able was started by a husband/wife team because of her MS (she uses a scooter or wheelchair). It has information and resources about a number of areas, although the information may be dated:
-Travel with a special need.
-Disability magazines.
-Access guides for cities, resorts and attractions.
-Wheelchair or scooter rentals.
-Accessible transportation and more!

They also have a list of travel agents who specialize in mobility issues. NOTE: I do not know how up-to-date it is, as the website has not been updated since 2007 and the phone is disconnected and e-mails are bouncing:
