Creating Memorable Holidays for Neurodiverse Families

Vicki Thompson on 30 January 2025
Planning a holiday can be challenging for any family, but when you’re navigating the unique needs of a neurodiverse household, it can feel even more complex. As a parent myself, I understand the importance of creating a trip that’s not only fun but also tailored to meet the individual needs of every family member. That’s why I specialise in bespoke family holidays, offering personalised support to make travel as stress-free and enjoyable as possible for neurodiverse families.

Understanding Your Family’s Needs

Every family is different, and neurodiverse families often have additional considerations when planning a holiday. Sensory sensitivities, dietary requirements, routines, or anxiety about new environments are just some of the factors that might need extra care. I take the time to listen to your needs and concerns, ensuring every element of your trip is thoughtfully planned to provide comfort and enjoyment for everyone.

How I Can Help

Personalised ItinerariesI create tailored travel plans that suit your family’s preferences and requirements. Whether it’s finding accommodations with quiet spaces, planning activities that cater to specific interests, or arranging flexible schedules, I ensure your holiday is designed with your family in mind.

Sensory-Friendly DestinationsFrom quiet beaches to nature retreats, I recommend destinations and activities that minimise sensory overload and provide a calming environment for neurodiverse travellers. I’ll also ensure that there are options to meet sensory needs, such as noise-cancelling spaces or accessible amenities.

Specialist KnowledgeOver the years, I’ve gained valuable experience working with families of all kinds. I understand the importance of structure, predictability, and flexibility, and I know how to plan trips that feel manageable and enjoyable for everyone involved.

Support Every Step of the WayI’m here for you from the moment we start planning until you return home. Need advice on packing for sensory needs? Want guidance on how to navigate airports or transitions during your trip? I provide practical tips and support to make your journey as smooth as possible.

Inclusive ExperiencesI believe that every family deserves to make incredible memories together. I’m committed to finding experiences that everyone can enjoy, from sensory-friendly theme parks to accessible cultural tours.

Why I’m Different

As a parent, I understand the joy and challenges that come with creating meaningful experiences for your children. I’m passionate about helping families find holidays that suit their needs, not the other way around. Unlike generic travel agencies, I provide:

Empathy and Understanding: I take the time to learn about your family’s specific requirements without judgment or assumptions.

Flexibility: I adapt plans to fit your family’s rhythm and preferences, offering options that work for you.

Attention to Detail: From travel times to accommodation layouts, I think about the small details that can make a big difference.

Whether you’re looking for a beach escape, an adventurous road trip, or a cultural journey, I’ll craft a holiday that works for your whole family.
