Description
Traveling with your autistic child may feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. With the right tools and preparation, travel can become a rewarding and joyful experience for the whole family.
This course is the first part of theAutism Travel Toolkit, a practical two-part series designed for parents, caregivers, educators, and therapists who want to help autistic children explore the world with more confidence.
In Part 1, you will learn how to create structured, predictable routines that help reduce anxiety and prepare your child for new experiences. You’ll also discover how to identify your child’s interests and use them to select motivating, autism-friendly destinations. Through simple tools like visual schedules, trip routines, and planning templates, you’ll be able to organize outings and vacations that feel both safe and manageable.
Many lessons include downloadable resources and hands-on tasks you can apply right away. No previous travel experience is required. Whether you're planning your first short outing or preparing for a longer vacation, this course offers a clear framework that you can adapt to your child’s specific needs.
To get the most out of this learning experience, we recommend continuing withPart 2, where you'll explore how to support your child during the actual trip and afterward—through play, reflection, and memory-building activities.

- Parents of autistic children who want to travel or take short trips
