Summary
The article provides tips for going on vacation with a child with special needs, such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or another developmental disability. It emphasizes the importance of advance planning, using tools like calendars or social stories to prepare the child, checking for accommodations at the destination, taking a mini vacation before a longer trip, planning for airport security, packing a "vacation backpack" with essentials and favorite items, bringing a helper if needed, and having a backup plan for unforeseen challenges.
