For parents with autistic children, a school trip comes with its own homework. New environments can create a bundle of anxiety and worry, meaning each trip can call for hours of research and correspondence in an attempt to find the relevant information about the setting, activities and plans that will offer reassurance to your child.
In this guide, we’ve outlined the key information venues can provide prior to, and during the visit to support autistic children. Attach it in an email to the venue (a pre-written one is included for you) and simply hit ‘send’ - saving time and energy for all involved to enable a stress-free and enjoyable experience.
Enter your email below and we’ll send you the download link for the Accessibility Guide and email script, so you never have to spend hours writing the same email over and over again.
The Guide Covers…
A quick overview of additional considerations that need to be taken into account when hosting autistic children.
Prompts on the information the venue needs to provide regarding the space (eg: the journey/distance to the main entrance, what seating areas look like), the sensory experience (eg: sounds, smells, quiet areas) and the experience itself (eg: will there be people in costume, what activities will they be expected to take part in, will there be calm alternatives).
How the venues can supply this information in an accessible way.
Simple action-steps the venue can take to be more accessible.
A sensory experience poster that can be printed and filled out by the venue, plus a version that can be edited online using Canva.
Ready-to-Go Copy & Paste Emails
We’ve made it super-easy for you to get the accessibility information you need by also including two email scripts you can simply copy and paste when sending the Accessibility Guide to a venue to request information for your child.
There are two versions included:
From the parent: requesting information in order to prepare their child for the trip as well as possible.
From the teacher/school: so they can help prepare the child and parents, as well as accommodate for multiple children with additional needs, and prime the venue for potential future visits.
