Accessible Travel Training
for Travel Advisors
Built by occupational therapy practitioners and travel professionals. We train travel advisors to confidently plan travel for clients with mobility, sensory, medical, and neurodivergent needs.
Limited founding member enrollment
$47 presale pricing
Most travel advisors receive little to no training in accessible travel.
That means that the 1 in 4 adults in the U.S. living with a disability are being underserved, or not served at all. You have an opportunity to change that, and tap into a $58 billion market while you do.

The Inspiration Behind Travel for EveryBODY
Be Brave Travel Academy was created by April Garcia and Michelle Balcarcel, both certified occupational therapy assistants with a combined 22 years of experience helping people live their lives to the fullest. April also brings firsthand industry experience as the owner of an accessible travel agency.
After years of watching an entire population get left out of the travel conversation, they decided the industry didn't just need more awareness. It needed people who actually understood accessibility from the inside out.
These courses give you the knowledge, tools, and real-world frameworks to plan trips that actually work for your clients.
How This Training Is Different
Occupational Therapy-
Informed Training
This isn't a general overview. It's built on real clinical understanding of mobility, sensory, medical, and neurodivergent needs — the stuff most travel training never touches.
Tools You'll
Actually Use
You'll walk away with frameworks and workflows you can actually use, not concepts you have to figure
out how to apply later.
Built for
Travel Advisors
This was designed for travel professionals.
No medical background needed,
no healthcare jargon to decode.
Real-World
Application
Everything is grounded in what actually
comes up with clients: transportation,
accommodations, tours, and the conversations
that make or break a booking.
