Neurodiversity Travel Survey
Share what truly helps (and what doesn’t) - so travel planning can feel more supportive for neurodivergent travelers and families.
Why we ask
I’m Denise Lang, founder of Develop the Magic. I’m building a professional education resource to help travel advisors better support neurodivergent travelers and families with thoughtful planning, respectful communication, and realistic trip design.
This is a listening project - a way to learn what truly helps (and what doesn’t), so advisors can serve with more care and fewer assumptions.
Who should take this survey
This survey is for:
-
Neurodivergent travelers (ADHD, autism, sensory differences, executive function challenges, anxiety that shows up in travel, etc.)
-
Parents/guardians traveling with neurodivergent children
-
Caregivers/companions who support someone who is neurodivergent
-
Allies/support people who travel alongside loved ones
You don’t need to use any labels you don’t want to. You can answer based on preferences, supports, and real-life travel experiences.
What you’ll be asked
This survey focuses on real-life travel support - like what helps (and what doesn’t) during planning, travel days, transitions, sensory overload moments, pacing/recovery needs, and the behind-the-scenes mental load that often falls on the primary planning parent/person.
Privacy-first, always
This survey is anonymous. Please do not include:
-
names of people (including children)
-
booking numbers or confirmation details
-
exact travel dates
-
highly identifying specifics
Share only what feels comfortable. You can skip any question.
Prefer to share directly instead?
(Not anonymous)
If you’d rather not type your feedback into an online survey, you’re welcome to share input through a private conversation instead. Email is a great option if you want conversation, but it is not anonymous.
Email Denise with the subject line: Private Neurodiversity Travel Survey Conversation
If you’re comfortable, include:
-
Your preferred name (or initials)
-
A few general times you’re available and include your time zone
-
Whether you’d prefer phone or video (or just email back-and-forth)
How your input may be used
Your responses may be used to improve and create:
-
an educational course/module for travel advisors
-
practical tools such as intake questions, scripts, checklists, and low-overwhelm planning workflows
-
presentations or workshops for travel agencies and advisor teams (with special attention to supporting the primary planning parent/person)
We share insights primarily as aggregated themes (patterns across responses). When examples are used, they are typically presented as composite scenarios (blended, de-identified learning cases). We do not publish raw submissions.

Travel can be meaningful, connecting, and joyful - and it can also be exhausting when support isn’t designed with real needs in mind. Your insight helps travel advisors do better: with more clarity, more care, and far less assumption.
Thank you for helping build better support.
