As more students with ADHD, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), anxiety disorders, and other neurodivergent conditions participate in education abroad, institutions are recognizing that traditional accommodation plans often do not address travel safety or crisis response. From navigating crowded airports and unfamiliar environments to responding during emergencies, neurodivergent students may face unique challenges that require proactive planning, communication, and support. Understanding how executive functioning, sensory processing, and stress responses influence decision-making can help institutions better prepare students before departure and provide more effective assistance abroad. Join SafeAbroad for a practical discussion on building neuro-inclusive safety strategies throughout the student travel experience.
