The three long-distance walks described in this book - the Suffolk
Coast Path, the Stour and Orwell Walk and the Sandlings Walk - link
together to provide a comprehensive and varied circuit of the
entire Suffolk Heritage Coast. The Suffolk Coast Path stretches
along the coast between Lowestoft and Landguard Fort, close to
Felixstowe in the south, a total distance of 60 miles (97km)
depending on whether beach walking or inland options are followed.
The Stour and Orwell Walk continues where the Suffolk Coast Path
ends, starting at Landguard Point threading for 40 mile (64km)
around the estuaries of the Stour and Orwell rivers to finish at
Cattawade, close to the Essex border. The Sandlings Walk (59
miles/94.5km) explores the heathland region that lies immediately
inland from the Suffolk coast. With the exception of the first
stage, between Ipswich and Woodbridge, the route of the Sandlings
Walk lies entirely within the confines of the Suffolk Coast &
Heaths AONB. With a unique landscape of cliffs, marshes, dunes and
shingle beaches, and rare plants and birdlife galore, there is much
to attract anyone seeking interesting day walks or longer multi-day
itineraries.

The travel bible for parents of children with autism spectrum
disorder and/or mood and distraction disorders, offering helpful
tips to soothe any child's travel anxieties. Traveling with
children is always challenging, but for parents of children with
autism spectrum disorder and/or mood and attention and distraction
disorders it can be especially intimidating. How should parents of
children experiencing meltdowns deal with clueless and judgmental
onlookers? What are the best methods to alleviate motion sickness
when your child might already be on a cocktail of drugs? Traveling
Different: Vacation Strategies for Parents of the Anxious, the
Inflexible, and the Neurodiverse answers these and many other
questions parents may have when traveling with their children. Dawn
M. Barclay presents travel strategies and anecdotes from Certified
Autism Travel ProfessionalsTM, parents of special needs children,
associations and advocates, and mental health professionals, broken
down by mode of transportation and type of venue. The heart of the
book outlines suggested itineraries for spectrum families as well
as venues--such as museums--that cater to the unique special
interests that are characteristic of individuals with autism. Less
common accommodations such as dude ranches and houseboats are also
included, as are vacations involving sports that might not
immediately be associated with ASD, such as diving, skiing, and
golf. The book culminates with a resource guide of travel agents
who specialize in special needs travel--as well as where to find
other experts--and lists of organizations that advocate for special
needs families. Noted mental health professionals offer advice
throughout the book and organizations that support the needs of
this community are profiled and included in the resources. Travel
brings the world together and now, thanks to a growing focus on the
needs of those with special needs, it is more accessible than ever
before. This work is an essential part of that effort, a resource
designed to make the cultural, educational, and bonding benefits of
vacations available to all.
