Special Needs Summer Vacation
Thinking about a summer vacation but worried about the challenges it may present for your child with autism? A website called ASD vacations (www.asdvacations.com) may have the solution. The site offers a special needs travel agent that will help families plan a trip to an autism-friendly resort or an autism-friendly cruise. The agent will customize the vacation around sensory issues, special interests and special dietary needs. They work with families to answer their questions, overcome obstacles, and to customize a vacation that is safe and fun as well as offering some respite time for the family.
ASD vacations works in conjunction with Royal Caribbean Cruise Line and Beaches by Sandals. The service provides families with an on-site trained staff member to help families throughout the vacation. Parents are even able to do separate activities while their child is with an aide doing a preferred activity. If families are interested in locations and/or services other than Royal Caribbean Cruise Line and Beaches by Sandals, families can have an aide accompany them on a different vacation. One of the site’s popular planned trips is to Disney World. The site opens up a wonderful opportunity for families to enjoy and relax during vacation.
