Stress-Free Travel for Families with Special Needs

Specializing in autism-friendly vacations, we craft accessible, inclusive experiences so you can explore with confidence and joy.

The SensoryTrips Difference

At sensoryTrips, we go above and beyond to ensure your travel experience is tailored to your unique needs. We are dedicated to creating an environment that fosters comfort, independence, and joy throughout your journey. Here's what sets us apart:

Social Stories, Visual Itineraries, PECS, and Schedules

We provide detailed visual itineraries, schedules with pictures and icons, PECS cards, and custom social stories with narratives and illustrations. These tools help prepare you for activities, explain travel processes, minimize anxiety in new situations, and ensure you clearly understand what's ahead for an enjoyable journey.

Respite Care for Families

We understand that caring for a loved one with special needs is rewarding but can also be demanding. Vacations should provide a chance to recharge, not add more strain. That's why we offer respite care services on select cruises and at certain resorts. Our trained professionals will engage your family member with personalized activities and support, allowing you to take guilt-free breaks to rest and rejuvenate. This respite care provides peace of mind that your loved one is in capable hands while you get a chance to relax and simply enjoy your vacation.

Mobility/Medical Equipment Delivery

We've partnered with special needs groups to ensure a smooth and accessible vacation experience. Whether you require a wheelchair, scooter, oxygen equipment, or even a hospital bed or lift, we can arrange for it to be delivered directly to your cruise ship cabin or hotel room.
