Visit Myrtle Beach Releases Book and Expands Accessibility Programs for Visitors with Autism
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina – In an exciting and inclusive initiative, the popular tourist destination Myrtle Beach has taken a step towards becoming even more visitor-friendly. Acknowledging the diverse needs of its guests, Visit Myrtle Beach has released its new children’s book, “Splish, Splash, Squawk! Finding Joy in a Sensory-Friendly Vacation“. The book is aimed at encouraging families with children on the autism spectrum to enjoy traveling together.
Splish, Splash, Squawk! Accommodating Autism
The delightful, educational children’s book is a remarkable collaboration between the stakeholders of Visit Myrtle Beach and author and illustrator, Lynda Farrington Wilson. Wilson is not only a renowned author but also a parent to a child with autism, making her an apt collaborator for this project.
Made with much affection and care, the book aims to inspire families with children on the autism spectrum to explore travelling and to assure them that destinations like Myrtle Beach can be sensory-friendly and inclusive. The details about the book’s availability and promotional events are expected to be released in the forthcoming weeks.
“Traveling the Spectrum”: A New Endeavor
Visit Myrtle Beach’s endeavors don’t end with the book. They have expanded their commitment to autism-friendly initiatives by releasing a trailer for the new television series named “Traveling the Spectrum“. This addition to their initiative aims to broaden the tourism area’s outreach to more families with children experiencing autism, offering them tools and resources to travel effectively and joyfully.
Commitment to Autism and Sensory-Friendly Tourism
The communities along the Grand Strand have shown their dedication to making the area autism- and sensory-friendly since 2016. They have been steadfast in their commitment to create a welcoming, inclusive environment for all visitors. This kind of commitment not only helps in shining a light on the needs of individuals with autism but also ensures that all visitors enjoy their vacation to the fullest extent.
These initiatives are part of a larger movement to make the city more accessible. You can find more information on Myrtle Beach’s autism-friendly offerings and accessible trip-planning resources on the official website.
The work that Visit Myrtle Beach is doing will undoubtedly create a wave of change and is expected to inspire other tourist destinations around the world to take similar actions. The goal is simple: to create destinations that every family can enjoy, regardless of their unique needs.
