The holidays often mean travel - long car rides, crowded airports, new beds, and big changes in routine. While this can be exciting, it can also be overwhelming, especially for children with sensory, motor, or developmental challenges.

At Adventure Pediatric Therapy, we know that “vacation” doesn’t always feel like a vacation when you’re worried about meltdowns, sensory overload, or big behavior changes. The good news: with a bit of planning and lots of grace for yourself and your child, holiday travel can be more manageable - and even fun.

Here are some therapist-approved tips to help your family travel with a little more ease this season.

We don't have any snow (yet) in the ❄️
So let's make our own!

Simply mix shaving cream and baking soda (you'll need more baking soda than you think 🤪) and start playing!

Be aware -> this gets a little messy!
But a quick sweep or vacuum will clean it all up when you're done ✅

Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) means the brain has trouble taking in, organizing, and responding to information from the senses — things like touch, sound, movement, taste, or even how the body feels in space.

Every child’s brain uses sensory information all day long to help them know what’s happening around them and how to react.
For children with SPD, those messages can feel too strong, too weak, or mixed up.

🧠 What This Can Look Like:

✨ Sensitive to sound, touch, or clothing textures
(tags, loud noises, or brushing teeth might feel unbearable)
✨ Always on the move or craving deep pressure or rough play
✨ Easily overwhelmed in busy or noisy environments
✨ Difficulty focusing or big reactions to small sensations
✨ Clumsy or unsure of where their body is in space

💡 How Parents Can Help:

💜 Keep routines predictable to make daily life feel more manageable
💜 Offer “just right” sensory input — swings, hugs, weighted blankets, fidget tools, or movement breaks
💜 Create calm spaces for quiet time or sensory regulation
💜 Work with an occupational therapist — they can help identify your child’s unique sensory needs and teach strategies that support attention, comfort, and confidence

❤️ Remember:

SPD isn’t a behavior problem — it’s the brain processing the world differently.

With understanding and the right supports, kids with sensory differences can thrive at home, school, and play.

Do you use the calendar app on your phone?
What about a planner or notebook to list your to-dos for the day?
Or maybe you have a big wall calendar for the month?

👆 If you use these, you're using visual schedules!

So let's get your kids set up with their own visual schedules to help make daily routines a little bit easier!

✨ Kids with ADHD often struggle with initiating tasks, attention, and organization.
✨ This makes daily routines really difficult and often causes meltdowns and/or avoidance.
✨ Visual schedules set your ADHD child up for success by providing a simple visual list of what needs done.
✨ Make sure to let your child help create and set up the visual schedule.
✨ Provide them control over the order of activities as much as possible to decrease pushback.
