I have traveled to 19 different countries around the world.

I also have a great passion for short trips to Las Vegas, traveling there at least three time a year. My passion for travel and belief that everyone can find the vacation they are looking for is my commitment to you when helping you plan your own inspired travels.

As a travel advisor, I spend a lot of time researching family-friendly resorts.
As a mom, I spend even more time asking a different question:

Will this destination actually work for families with sensory-sensitive children?

One of the reasons our family chose Beaches Resorts for our own vacation this October is their incredible commitment to autism acceptance and inclusion.

Beaches was the first resort company in the world to complete the rigorous IBCCES autism certification process and their Kids Camps are Advanced Certified Autism Centers. Their team members receive specialized training to better understand and support children with autism and other sensory needs.

What truly impressed me is that Beaches goes beyond simply saying they are autism-friendly.
They offer detailed sensory guides that rate areas of the resort based on sensory stimulation, including pools, dining venues, sports areas and activities. Families can review ratings for factors such as noise, lighting, smells and overall stimulation before they even arrive.

They also provide resort maps that help families identify quieter spaces, open areas and locations where children can take a break and regulate when travel becomes overwhelming.

And for many children, one of the most magical parts is meeting Julia from Sesame Street. Julia is a character with autism who participates in special activities and character experiences designed to help every child feel welcomed and included.

For some families, vacation planning is about choosing the best beach or biggest waterpark.
For others, it's about knowing there will be understanding staff, sensory-friendly options, and spaces where their child can thrive instead of simply cope.

Every child deserves magical vacation memories.

This is one of the many reasons our family chose Beaches, and why I'm so passionate about helping families find destinations that truly meet their needs.

If you're travelling with an autistic child or a sensory-sensitive family member, I'd love to help you find the right fit for your family.
