Visalia, the nation’s first Certified Autism Destination, recognizes Autism Awareness month in April. Visit Visalia and local tourism partners will highlight Visalia’s initiative: Every day is autism acceptance day in our community. A recent survey conducted by Autism Travel (http://autismtravel.com/) shows that 78% of parents with an autistic child do not travel, but 94% would be more likely to if autism certified options were available.
