Certified Autism Travel Professional

Travel should be an experience the whole family can enjoy, and I’m passionate about helping make that possible.

Meet Wendy

I believe travel is more than getting on a plane or checking into a hotel. It’s about creating memories, celebrating life, experiencing new places, and giving families the opportunity to see the world together.

That’s why I’m excited to add Certified Autism Travel Professional to my travel credentials.

I recently completed specialized training to better understand the travel needs of individuals with autism and their families. For me, this certification is about more than a title. It’s about being better prepared to listen, ask the right questions, and help families create travel experiences that feel more comfortable, manageable, and enjoyable.

As the owner of Wendy’s Divine Travel, my mission has always been to make travel feel less overwhelming and more possible. Whether I’m helping a family plan a cruise, a celebration, a faith-based journey, or an international adventure, I want my clients to feel confident knowing they have someone in their corner.

I know that travel doesn’t look the same for every family. And that’s okay. My job is to meet you where you are, understand what matters to you, and help create a travel experience that works for your family.

I believe the world is meant to be experienced, and every family deserves the opportunity to experience it.

Let’s make your next adventure one you can truly enjoy.

The Beaches Buddy Systen

Alongside our certified staff, Kids Camps, specialized Sesame Street® program, and Culinary Concierge, we offer an optional

one-on-one Beaches Buddy service, providing personalized, private childcare with a buddy who is autism-certified and can be pre-booked for a nominal fee. Our one-on-one Beaches Buddy can be with your child for your entire stay or just for a few

hours, including during Kids Camp and after-hours in a sensory-friendly location of your choice.

Certified Kids Camps

Our Kids Camps are Advanced Certified Autism Centers that ensure team members have the necessary knowledge, skills, temperament, and expertise to cater to all children and offer age-specific programs for infants, toddlers, pre-teens,

and teens.

Pre-Travel Questionnaire

Beaches Resorts uses a pre-travel questionnaire to gather information about a child’s specific needs and preferences. This allows staff to become familiar with the child’s requirements and prepare a tailored experience that is both comfortable

and supportive. Families receive this document before their stay and submit it to the resort’s Special Services team.

The Caribbean Adventure With Sesame Street

Our exclusive partnership with Sesame Street® makes Beaches the only Caribbean resorts where kids can play with their favorite fuzzy friends, including Julia — a sweet, curious 4-year-old on the autism spectrum. At Camp Sesame, children

can participate in fun-filled activities like the Rock ‘N Roll Dance Party with Elmo, Baking with Cookie Monster, Puppet Making with Bert & Ernie, Amazing Art with Julia, and so much more! To take the fun even further, our Sesame Street®

VIP Upgrade Packages are sure to make your child’s vacation extra special.

Culinary Concierge

Beaches offers a wide variety of distinct global-inspired restaurants per resort and a Culinary Concierge Desk that works directly with executive chefs, sous chefs, and restaurant managers to ensure an exceptional dining experience for your entire family. Our Culinary Concierge will guide you through all our restaurant offerings and help create custom menus that fit your family’s special dietary needs —including allergy restrictions and gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options.

Island Routes Fast Track

Get VIP treatment by booking the Island Routes Fast Track before your trip. Upon arrival, a professional airport agent will welcome and escort you through immigration, customs, and security to make sure your arrival is quick and seamless.

Upon departure, an airport agent will assist with check-in, security clearance, and getting your family to the departure gate saving you time and a headache.

Certified Staff All the Time

Enjoy the best of the Caribbean on your family vacation, knowing that your child is always in good hands. Our child care staff continuously receives competency training in the following areas: sensory awareness, motor skills, autism

overview, program development, social skills, communication, environment, emotional awareness, and bullying. That means you can be confident your child is supported by a team that understands their unique needs and is committed to creating

a safe, nurturing, and inclusive space for everyone.

Beaches Autism Inclusion Week

The annual Autism All-Inclusive Week is a special event designed for families with children on the spectrum. Held in the fall, it offers an inclusive and fun-filled week of activities. We understand the unique challenges that come with planning a

vacation and have taken great care in developing events that will enhance your family’s experience. With the help of a dedicated Beaches Buddy per family, guests can look forward to daily enrichment activities like arts and crafts featuring Sesame Street’s Julia, morning yoga, tableside chats with experts, and much more.
