Parenting a child on the autism spectrum comes with joy and challenges. When things get tough, positive parenting strategies—like slowing down, following your child’s lead, and building routines—can make a big difference.

Every child is unique, and with the right tools, you can support their strengths and build confidence.

Holmes DD is excited to spotlight AccessibleGO, a travel website specifically designed for individuals with disabilities in the United States, enabling them to plan their travel and explore new destinations with ease. Not only does AccessibleGO ensure that all needs are met, but it also offers discounted rates for travelers with disabilities and their companions. We at Holmes DD think this is an excellent resource for those looking to enhance the quality of their travel. If you have any questions or concerns, you can reach them at contact@accessibleGO.com.

Last week we announced that we've expanded to become the first one stop shop for travelers with disabilities... This includes flights!

In addition to booking flights on accessibleGO.com, customers can specify what they require assistance with including top accessibility requests such as checking a wheelchair, wheelchair assistance from ticket counter to seat or traveling with a task trained service dog. accessibleGO will contact the airlines directly to convey accessibility requests.

Book a flight today! https://accessiblego.com/flights
