The Autism Passport Advantage

As founder of The Autism Passport movement, I bring specialized training, lived experience, and a global network of autism-friendly resources to every trip I design. Your family's success is my mission.

Sensory-Conscious Planning

Every journey is designed with sensory sensitivities in mind—from quiet accommodations to crowd-free itineraries. I understand autism because I live it, and I craft experiences where your family can truly thrive.

Judgment-Free Exploration

No destination is off-limits. Whether it's a cruise, an international adventure or a theme park dream vacation, I help families discover what's possible when travel is designed around their unique needs.

Your Advocate, Every Step of the Way

From pre-trip social stories to on-the-ground support, I'm available for you before, during, and after your journey. I communicate your family's needs to hotels, airlines, and attractions so you can focus on making memories.

SPECIALIZED TRAINING

Expertise You Can Trust

 I'm one of the most comprehensively trained autism travel specialists in the industry.

My Certifications:

• Autism Double-Checked (ADC) Certified

Advanced training in autism awareness, sensory accommodations, and accessibility planning for travel professionals.

• Autism on the Seas Certified

Specialized certification for creating autism-friendly cruise experiences, cabin selection, and onboard advocacy.

• IBCCES Certified Autism Travel Professional

The industry's gold standard for autism and sensory-friendly travel design, covering everything from pre-trip preparation to crisis management.

• SNG Certified Accessible Travel Advocate®

Travel Professionals who understand the scope and importance of the accessible travel/special needs market.

But here's what the certifications can't teach:

Lived experience. Personal advocacy. Meaningful memories.


I design trips I'd want for my own family—because I know what's at stake.

HOW I WORK DIFFERENTLY

I don't believe in "autism-proof" vacations—I believe in autism-ready ones.

Every family is beautifully unique. Every sensory profile is different. Every dream destination is valid. My job isn't to eliminate all challenges (that's impossible), but to:

→ Prepare for them

Detailed planning that accounts for sensory needs, communication styles, and family dynamics

→ Design for your specific needs

Backup plans, and realistic expectations
