Planning, preparation and flexibility make trips on public transport or by air smoother.
Changes in routine, crowds and unfamiliar places can be stressful. Prepare your child with pictures, social stories or short videos of where you are going.
For flights and long journeys, inform the airline or operator in advance if you need assistance, pack comfort items, snacks and headphones and allow extra time. Ask about priority assistance for persons with disabilities.
Choose quieter times to travel when possible and keep the itinerary flexible. Short breaks and a calm backup plan can prevent small problems from becoming big ones.
