Autism Travel Toolkit – Part 2: Games, Tools & Travel

Supporting your autistic child during travel is crucial for a positive experience. This course, the second part of the Autism Travel Toolkit, equips families with practical strategies to minimize travel stress and maximize enjoyment.

Part 2 focuses on the entire travel journey – before, during, and after – providing actionable steps to create smoother trips. You'll discover how to:

• Pre-Trip Preparation: Utilize simple games and visual aids to familiarize your child with the destination.
• Simulate the Experience: Employ structured play to replicate the travel experience, making the real journey feel more predictable and less overwhelming.
• On-Location Engagement: Learn techniques to keep your child engaged with short, meaningful activities while at your destination.
• Post-Trip Consolidation: Guide your child in processing the trip, fostering positive memories and gradually expanding their comfort zone.

This course offers valuable downloadable resources, including templates and real-life examples, adaptable to your child's unique needs.

Who is this course for? Parents, caregivers, educators, and therapists seeking hands-on tools to reduce travel-related anxiety and build confidence and safety for autistic children.
