As summer approaches, we are happy to feature two perspectives on traveling with autism. First we speak with Lara Sandora, a parent advocate, travel blogger, and special needs vacation home provider. She and Jill discuss "tips and tricks" for traveling with severe autism, including air travel, choosing a destination, and simplifying along the way. Then we speak with Pernell Wint, a Business Development Manager with Unique Vacations which operates the Beaches Resorts chain in the Caribbean. The Beaches resorts located in Jamaica and Turks & Caicos are certified Autism Centers with trained staff and onsite amenities that cater to autism families.
