This is such a helpful post! I have a cousin who has special needs and a weighted toy for example really helps her a lot. Thanks for your other tips here on this post, I know more about the things I can give her when she and her family will travel!

I didn’t realize you had a special needs daughter. My goodness, I sure take my hat off to you. I have a friend in a similar situation and be honest, I don’t know how she has the energy. She too has headphones, different playlists at the ready, and sixth sense for when to pull them out. I couldn’t help but smile at the fidgets. My husband, I swear is addicted to them. x

What a great post! My sister has a special needs son and she also travel with some of these items. I know it can be very stressful for parents especially when they travel. Just recently my nephew had a bad breakdown on the plane and she was able to get him to calm down by giving him his blanket.

When you travel with kids that have or have not special needs you really need some of these objects. We always have with us her Friend 🙂 that in our case is a soft horse 🙂 This soft horse is already a very important part of our family 🙂 and it is really a tragedy when it gets lost in the house. And we all pay special attention when it gets out! 🙂

So many great tips. traveling can be so stressful, even for someone that travels a lot. But for those that have special needs I can imagine it is even worse. Great ideas for kids.

We have a special needs child in our family – actually he’s not a child anymore. But when he was, I saw first-hand how difficult it was on his parents to travel. But they always brought along his comfort items. For him, they included headphones, his magnetic letters and a hand-held video game that taught him to spell. I’m sure travel would have been incredibly more difficult without those items.

There are certain things I cannot travel without either – like probiotics. They are my security blanket and I feel NAKED without them!

These are really great tips. When my kids were little, one of the things we always made sure we traveled with was a pair of headphones for each of them. That and their special blanket. The blanket was necessary!

Love your tips, I especially need to get earphones for all three of my kids as we’ll be going on a road trip this summer.
