BEACHES RESORTS is hosting its first Autism All-Inclusive Week from October 13th to 19th at Beaches Ocho Rios. Home to the Caribbean’s first advanced autism-friendly kids camps, Beaches Resorts is the first all-inclusive resort company in the world to complete the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES) and Autism Certification. Designed to enhance the holiday experience for families with children on the autism spectrum, families are invited to come together for a inclusive week of activities.

With the help of a dedicated Beaches Buddy per family, guests can enjoy daily arts and crafts sessions with Sesame Street's Julia, a four-year-old character on the autism spectrum, plus sunrise yoga sessions, tableside chats with experts, a scavenger hunt, a Parents’ Mixer event with respite care, a waterbased activity and much more. Parents will also be able to liaise with the resort’s dedicated Culinary Concierge team. For agents with clients who wish to join in the Autism All-Inclusive Week event activities, they can pre-register for accommodation and package options at www.beaches.co.uk/specialevents/autismallinclusive/
