Description

Supporting your autistic child during travel is just as important as preparing in advance. This course is the second part of the Autism Travel Toolkit, a two-part series designed to give families clear, practical strategies to make travel less stressful and more enjoyable.

Part 2 focuses on what happens before, during, and after the trip. You will learn how to use simple games and visual tools to help your child become familiar with the destination in advance. You’ll also discover how to simulate the experience through structured play, making the real journey feel more predictable and less overwhelming.

Once you’re at the destination, you’ll learn how to keep your child engaged with short, meaningful activities. After the trip, the course offers guidance on how to consolidate the experience—so your child builds positive memories and gradually expands their comfort zone.

The course includes downloadable resources, templates, and real examples you can adapt to your child’s specific needs. It’s designed for parents, caregivers, educators, and therapists looking for hands-on tools to reduce travel-related stress and foster a sense of confidence and safety.

If you haven’t yet taken Part 1, we recommend starting there to learn about routines, visual schedules, and how to choose the right destination for your child.

Who this course is for:

  • Parents of autistic children planning their first outings or vacations
  • Educators or therapists preparing short trips with their students
  • Family members or support workers looking to reduce anxiety around travel
  • Anyone who wants to plan meaningful and autism-friendly travel experiences
