Kissimmee, FL, August 30, 2024 – Experience Kissimmee and Autism Travel Club (ATC) are excited to announce its new partnership to increase autism awareness and training and educate businesses in Central Florida. This collaboration aims to make the greater Kissimmee area a more welcoming and accessible destination, especially for visitors with autism and their families.
This partnership will harness the expertise of Autism Travel Club and the wide-reaching influence of Experience Kissimmee and will kick off with a series of ‘Level Up’ seminars led by Becky Large, CEO of ATC scheduled for September 25, 2024. She will share her extensive knowledge of the benefits of autism training and its positive impact on businesses. It’s an opportunity for businesses to level up and make a real difference in the community.
“Partnering with Autism Travel Club is a significant step towards enhancing accessibility and inclusivity in Central Florida. By integrating autism training for local businesses, we are working to ensure that Kissimmee becomes a more welcoming destination for visitors with autism and their families,” said Jason Holic, Sr. Vice President of Operations & Community Engagement from Experience Kissimmee. “This initiative reflects our commitment to creating a supportive environment for all.”

To further their commitment to the Autism Ready Destination initiative, the first 20 businesses to register for autism training will receive 50% reimbursement from Experience Kissimmee for the first year of training. Experience Kissimmee will also donate the first year of training access to several local organizations, including Kissimmee Gateway Airport and Osceola County Fire Rescue and EMS. This is a significant step towards achieving an “Autism Ready” designation for the entire destination, demonstrating Kissimmee’s commitment to inclusivity.
Becky Large states, “This partnership is more than just a collaboration; it’s a celebration of shared values and a commitment to making Central Florida a place where everyone feels welcome. With Experience Kissimmee and Autism Travel Club leading the way, the future of Kissimmee looks brighter—and more inclusive—than ever!”
