Autism / Accessibility Travel Professional

Certified Accessible Travel Advocate

Hi, I’m Sheila Smith, a Certified Accessible Travel Advocate and Certified Autism Travel Professional with a deep passion for helping families travel with confidence, no matter their unique needs. As a mom of three incredible children with varying needs and an Early Childhood Educator with 20 years of experience, I understand firsthand the challenges and concerns that come with planning a trip for a loved one with medical, mobility, or sensory needs.

Travel should be exciting, not stressful. I’ve been in your shoes—navigating food allergies, medical conditions, mobility limitations, and sensory sensitivities while trying to create joyful experiences for my family. I know what it’s like to worry about access to safe food, medical equipment, and sensory-friendly environments, and I’ve spent years learning how to eliminate those barriers so families can focus on making memories, not managing logistics.

Through specialized training and personal experience, I create customized travel plans that ensure every detail is covered—from securing accessible accommodations to arranging for necessary support services like medical equipment, dietary accommodations, and sensory-friendly experiences. I also work closely with families to provide practical strategies that make travel smoother, whether it’s navigating airports, managing medical needs, or finding destinations that truly embrace inclusion.

I actively network with special needs communities, medical professionals, and accessibility advocates to stay up-to-date on the best resources available.

You don’t have to figure it all out alone—I’m here to make sure your journey is safe, seamless, and filled with joy.

Let’s make the world accessible for your family, one unforgettable adventure at a time!
