Holidays Designed Around Your Needs, Not the Other Way Around
Holidays that Understand Your Family's Needs
As a parent of a child with Special Educational Needs, I know first-hand how important — and sometimes overwhelming — it can be to plan a holiday that truly works for everyone. It’s not just about finding a great destination — it’s about making sure the whole journey is manageable, the environment is right, and that every little detail has been considered.
My daughter Renai has SEN, and like many families, we faced the initial uncertainty of travelling abroad — from wondering how she would cope in new environments to worrying whether staff would understand her needs. But over the years, we’ve built a world of experience together.
We’ve travelled across Europe, flown long-haul, cruised through the Med, and experienced the magic of Disney World in Florida. Through it all, our goal was simple: to make sure Renai felt safe, understood, and excited about the adventure — and that the rest of the family could truly relax too.
At Newton Travel, we don’t just offer SEN Holidays — we live and breathe them. I’ve personally worked with airlines to request pre-boarding and quiet areas, coordinated with transfer providers to avoid overstimulation, and handpicked hotels that offer sensory-friendly rooms and staff trained in inclusive service.
I understand the challenges because I’ve navigated them myself, and I know the difference that thoughtful planning makes — not just for the child or adult with SEN, but for parents, siblings, and everyone travelling.
This isn’t about ticking boxes. It’s about genuinely understanding the emotional and practical aspects of travelling with SEN.
That’s the experience I bring to every trip I help plan — ensuring your family feels supported from the moment you make an enquiry to the moment you return home with memories to cherish.
Let’s Make the World More Accessible – One Trip at a Time
I believe every family deserves a holiday — including families with SEN. And with the right planning, the right people, and a little understanding, it’s more than possible.
It’s life-changing.
If you’re ready to explore new destinations with confidence, I’d love to help. Just give us a call or drop us a message — let’s plan something amazing, together.
