SENSORY-FRIENDLY TRAVEL
Sometimes the Accommodation Is Leaving
We usually think of accommodations as something a place provides.
A quieter room. Priority access. Headphones. Accessible seating. A sensory space.
But sometimes the accommodation is simply giving your child permission to be done.
Leaving the show halfway through.
Skipping the activity everybody else is doing.
Eating somewhere quieter. Going back to the room. Sitting on the edge of the action instead of right in the middle of it.
It can be hard to walk away from something you paid for, planned for or really wanted your child to experience.
But getting your money's worth should never require a child to spend every ounce of themselves.
Sometimes making a place accessible isn't about helping a child tolerate more. It's recognizing when they've already done enough.
