Your book was our 'bible' at Disney. Your advice was incredibly helpful and made a world of difference in the wonderful memories we have of our first family vacation together. ...
"Knowing that the advice in the book came from a parent who understands the complexities involved in dealing with autism made us feel comfortable and prepared for any uncertain situations that might arise at the park. Just one example of this occurred when our son was tired, and beginning to get frustrated. My husband thought we might have to miss the parade, but I knew just what to do. We took him to Tom Sawyer’s Island with a bucket of popcorn, and he sat in a rocking chair for an hour, just cooling off, while we enjoyed the parade immensely. I was silently thanking you the entire time. Without your advice, I never would have thought to try this strategy, and we would definitely have missed the parade! ...Thank you for caring enough to share you experiences with us. I told my husband that I could not imagine the amount of work it took to pull all of that incredible knowledge together—but we are both very grateful that you did."—The Raffoul Family
Its reader-friendly format and practical advice is invaluable. This booklet will help countless families plan the ultimate vacation."—Ayda Sanver Halker, Director of Information, Referral, and Customer Service
