School trips and autistic inclusion
Wednesday 27th May, 2026
School trips can be hugely beneficial for autistic children through hands‑on, sensory and social learning, but many trips are unintentionally inaccessible due to sensory overload, routine disruption and limited teacher resources; small adjustments like visual schedules, pre‑visits, quiet spaces and sensory breaks make trips inclusive and equitable. This gives Lego a chance to talk about how play, simple planning and tactile, familiar tools—like bricks and visual storyboards—can help schools prepare and include autistic pupils on trips in the UK and beyond.
