Who We Serve

Travelers

We specialize in serving teens and adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) including; Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Asperger’s Syndrome, ADHD, Down Syndrome, Learning Disabilities, Cerebral Palsy, Epilepsy, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Global Developmental Delay, and other cognitive and developmental differences.

Communication

We strive to meet Travelers and families where they are, identifying barriers, and forming true connections to reach a better understanding of how to mutually support one another prior to an adventure. Support looks different for each person and we hope that through transparent communication we can create an action plan that enriches the experience specific to the traveler and families’ needs.
