🧩 Struggling to Communicate While Traveling with Your Autistic Child?

Download a Free Travel PECS Board You Can Use Anywhere—Even Without a Tablet.

Does your autistic child struggle to communicate when they're in an unfamiliar place—especially under stress?

You're not alone.

Many parents feel a rising sense of panic when they imagine their child trying to ask for help at a busy theme park, airport, or hotel… and not being understood.

At home, communication might be supported by a tablet or AAC device. But when you're traveling?

  • The battery dies.

  • The internet fails.

  • Or your child is just too overwhelmed to use it.

That’s why I created the Travel PECS Board,Ā a downloadable, portable picture exchange communication system you can print and attach to a lanyard or keychain.

āœˆļø What Makes This Travel PECS Different?

  • āœ… Easy to attach to a lanyard, keychain, or belt loop

  • āœ… Designed for common travel and theme park situations

  • āœ… Uses clear visuals for requests like: bathroom, snack, help, break, tired, lost

  • āœ… Gives your child a backup communication tool—even when the tablet isn’t available

Whether you’re heading to a theme park, boarding a plane, or just taking a family road trip, this PECS tool can help your child feel seen, heard, and safe.

šŸ’” Who This Is For:

  • Parents of non-speaking or minimally verbal autistic children

  • Families who use AAC at home but want a portable, no-tech backup

  • Anyone planning a trip where communication might break down under stress

  • Parents who want to build confidence in their child’s ability to ask for what they need
