It’s estimated that one out of every 44 children falls on the autism spectrum and many more children have attention and/or mood disorders. It can be challenging for parents of neurodiverse children to successfully incorporate travel into their families’ lives.

This week we speak with Dawn Barclay, author of a new book called Traveling Different: Vacation Strategies for Parents of the Anxious, the Inflexible, and the Neurodiverse. Enjoy Dawn's tips for travelling just in time for the holiday and winter travel season!
