Traveling with a child who has medical needs can seem hard. But Elijah’s mom, Amy, has learned how to travel well with him. Here are some helpful tips:

  1. Thorough Preparation: Plan ahead. Look for accessible places to stay and travel.
  2. Pack Smart: Bring all needed medical supplies. Pack lightly but make sure to include essentials.
  3. Engage the Community: Connect with other families for support and tips.
  4. Adapt Flexibly: Be open to changing plans. Sometimes surprises lead to great memories.
