Traveling with children can be a fantastic opportunity for the whole family!  

However, it is understandable how traveling can feel intimidating, especially if your child falls on the autism spectrum or has attention and/or mood disorders.    

Award-winning author, Dawn M. Barclay, explains how parents can successfully incorporate travel into their families’ lives. 

Her new book, Traveling Different: Vacation Strategies for Parents of the Anxious, the Inflexible, and the Neurodiverse, will be released on August 15, 2022, but is now available for preorder.  

Luckily, we have access to a preview!  Dawn shares her insight on preparing for family travel and ways to make it enjoyable for everyone.   

Her book offers hundreds of tips from mental health professionals, parents, Certified Autism Travel Planners, allies, and advocates, it's basically the travel bible for families with children on the autism spectrum or who have mood/attention disorders, but the tips can soothe the travel hiccups of any family.
