Today is the last day of The Special Needs Travel Podcast.

⁣⁣However, it's not the last day of my podcast. I'm moving away from the Special Needs Travel podcast to come to terms with my ignorance with ableism and to better represent WHO I serve. ⁣⁣As much as I want to help those with other disabilities I know there are other accessible travel advocates that do a better job at who they serve, unless you really want to work with me I won't turn you away, but I know that I need to speak more loudly and more clearly to families with autism. ⁣⁣As such I'm not pivoting, I'm simply clearly defining what my podcast will be about. To learn more about my mission and who I serve and what I will do from here on out listen to the episode! ⁣⁣

You're Autistic and you TRAVEL?!?

We've talked about how you can travel, why you can travel and where you can travel.  This week on the podcast we are talking about now that you've decided to travel, how outside of myself, that you can get some support while you are traveling.  Of course, you leave the planning of the trip and the booking of the trip up to me and we work together to make this trip happen with as little stress as possible.  But now imagine you are at your destination but we've already talked about this unique service I have partnered with.  You are finding you want a break from your caregiving duties and you need just some help.  I have the perfect service that we can add to your trip which is hiring a traveling respite care provider.  This can be added to your trip package to make it easy to keep your payment in one fee but this service might surprise you at how helpful it can be!  

A little bit about the service - Fly along or travel companions for the elderly, families & persons with and without disabilities. Breakrelief Sitters provides you a break from your caregiving duties while on vacation.

When you need an extra pair of hands on VACATION.

You may already be aware that people with autism are drawn to the water. However, you may have no idea why! There are so many reasons why water is so stimulating for people will autism, without being overstimulating. Visual stimuli include the ocean’s waves and the calmness of a swimming pool or a lake. The smell of the water is unique and changes with the setting. The sounds of the water are also different, which isn’t surprising since calm water is nothing like the crashing of waves on a shoreline. Add in the feel of the water and how anyone can easily float along the top of it and water really makes an autistic person think without being overstimulated.
