Are you ready to transform the way you approach summer holidays with your neurodiverse child? Can you imagine a vacation that's enjoyable, stress-free, and tailored to your family's unique needs? I'm here, alongside SEND Advisor and seasoned expert, Tamsyn Hendry, to guide you towards making that dream a reality.

Our conversation touches on everything from the stressors parents face during the holiday season to how to plan an accessible and family-friendly vacation. Tamsyn's 18 years of experience shines through as we share practical tips to make travel easier, whether that's packing pull-ups for the flight or arranging for assisted travel. We explore the power of planning without over-scheduling, swapping guilt for understanding, and the positive impact utilizing services like the YMCA can have on your family.

But we're not just doling out advice; we're sharing real, tangible strategies to help you navigate the unique challenges that come with holidaying with a special needs child. From selecting the perfect destination to beach outings and beyond, we dive deep into the nitty-gritty details that can make or break a trip. And remember, one bad day doesn't spoil the entire holiday. Join us as we reshape expectations, remove pressure and discover the joy in holidays again. With Tamsyn's seasoned insights and our shared experiences, we're stepping into this conversation with empathy, understanding, and a desire to support you on your journey. Tune in, and let's make this summer holiday one for the memory books.
