As both a Certified Autism Travel Professional (CATP 25834486) and parent of a neurodivergent child, I understand firsthand that thoughtful planning makes all the difference between a stressful trip and magical memories.
My journey into sensory-friendly travel planning started when our child was just 5 months old. Like typical first-time (and honestly, type A project manager) parents, we dove deep into research and planning for every trip - from flight schedules to backup plans for backup plans. We quickly discovered that thorough preparation was the key to successful family adventures.
When our kiddo was older and received a formal neurotype diagnosis, we realized we'd already been using many of the strategies that work beautifully for neurodiverse travelers. The same detailed planning, routine-building, and environmental awareness that made us confident parents also made our family incredibly skilled at navigating new places together.
Fast-forward to today: our child is a seasoned world traveler who recently celebrated their milestone 100th flight to London. Now, splitting my time between Panama and near Disney World, I help other families discover that with the right planning approach, travel can be both comfortable and magical for everyone.
Vacations should bring joy, not stress. As both a Certified Autism Travel Professional (CATP) and parent of a neurodiverse child, I know firsthand that thoughtful planning makes all the difference. From finding quiet spaces in busy theme parks to creating predictable routines on cruise ships, I help families like yours explore the world comfortably.
