In an innovative step towards enhancing its autism-friendly reputation, Visit Myrtle Beach has released a delightful new children’s book titled “Splish, Splash, Squawk! Finding Joy in a Sensory-Friendly Vacation“. The book depicts a sensory-friendly vacation experience aiming to make travel more accessible for families with children on the autism spectrum.
Visit Myrtle Beach has collaborated with author and illustrator Lynda Farrington Wilson for this project. Wilson herself is a frequent visitor to Myrtle Beach alongside her son who has autism, and has a deep personal understanding of the challenges such families can face during travel.
Beyond the tale it tells, “Splish, Splash, Squawk!” serves as a significant part of the broader plan by Visit Myrtle Beach to make the city a more sensory-friendly tourist destination. The initiative aims to inspire and inform families with autistic children about the possibilities of exploring new places together.
Families interested in the book can look forward to a list of retailers and related events, expected to be released over the coming weeks.
Adding to their autism-friendly efforts, Visit Myrtle Beach recently unveiled a trailer for their upcoming TV series “Traveling the Spectrum“. This show is intended to further highlight the many experiences that can be accessible to individuals with autism and their families, emphasizing the city’s commitment to inclusivity.
Communities along Myrtle Beach’s Grand Strand have been at the forefront of establishing autism- and sensory-friendly destinations since 2016. Comprehensive information about the area’s autism-friendly tourism offerings, as well as trip-planning resources for families with autistic members, is available for everyone interested.
Visit Myrtle Beach is making significant strides in fostering an inclusive vacation destination for all types of visitors, particularly those with autism. With the release of their new children’s book and upcoming television series, they are certainly solidifying their commitment to creating enjoyable experiences for everyone.
