Accessibility isn't about knowing every diagnosis.
It's about knowing what to ask.
Most travel advisors aren't avoiding accessible travel because they don't care.
They're avoiding it because they're afraid of getting it wrong.
That's exactly why we created Be Brave Travel Academy.
Instead of memorizing disabilities, we teach practical frameworks that help you confidently plan travel for real people with real needs.
What You’ll Learn
Ask Better Questions
Learn the three questions that uncover what actually matters to a traveler.
Spot Red Flags
Identify accessibility challenges before they become vacation problems.
Plan with Confidence
Leave every client conversation knowing what to verify next.
Why We Created
Be Brave Travel Academy
We're occupational therapy practitioners who spent years helping people participate in the activities that matter most.
Travel is one of those occupations.
When we entered the travel industry, we realized most advisors genuinely wanted to help—but had never been taught how to think about accessibility.
So we built the training we wish had existed.
One that focuses on people instead of diagnoses.
Confidence instead of checklists.
And practical conversations instead of fear.

“This course is extremely helpful in preparing you for the complex world of accessible travel. The preprinted forms also help simplify the planning process.”
- Derrick Shockley, Travel Advisor
“The most valuable content in Travel Ready (for me) was the PDF infosheets, checklists, etc. Quick reference material is invaluable for how my brain works... I learned more specific language, like terms, example questions, etc., that I know will make me a better, more informed accessible travel specialist. “
-Julia Houtchings, Rainbow Getaways
