Excerpt from Dawn's 8/22/2022 column in InsiderTravelReport.com
Thanks to a growing focus on inclusive travel, families with children with invisible disabilities such as autism spectrum disorder and mood/attention disorders are starting to travel more. That’s the findings of a new study by The International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES), which recently updated its study of 1,000 special needs families from four years ago.
The new study shows that 78 percent of special needs families surveyed are hesitant to travel. While that’s still a significant percentage, it represents a 9 percent improvement from 2018. Of those, 94 percent said they would take more vacations or visit more unfamiliar destinations if they had access to autism-trained and certified options. That’s a 1 percent increase over the last study.
