The British Family's Trip

The British Family's Trip

Background information

The Turner's, a family of five from London, England with two severely autistic children, one 8 year old and one 12 year old, want to take a weekend trip to Amsterdam. The children have never travelled before and the family will require guidance during the flight as well as the stay. The trip will need to be planned for the family and send to them in advance, containing exact details of how the trip will progress. This includes times, locations, activities and necessities.

Social workers:

You have had contact with the British Social Worker, who works with these children. She has given you details about the children, which you should take into account when planning their trip. The children have difficulty using the spoken language. They can communicate with simple words and phrases, but they aren’t very responsive. They also have trouble in larger crowds, which will make travelling on a plane a challenge. They tend to stress out when there are too many unknown people. They don’t seem to have any sensitivity to lights, sounds or touch. If they are stressed, they can be aggressive: they hit and kick if something isn’t right according to them. When not given enough attention, they will also run away and hide somewhere until they are found, after which they will throw a tantrum.
Both of the boys (age 8 and 12) have autism, and they strengthen each other’s behaviour. The girl (age 7) does not have autism. However, with two autistic brothers, she is easily forgotten. This made her very quiet and shy.

Aeronautical Service:

You have to plan the trip to the airport, the flight and the transport to the location in Holland. There are several aspects you have to take into consideration, because this family requires special attention. Most important is a plan of what they have to do at the airports and where they have to go when. They will depart from Gatwick Airport in London and arrive on Schiphol Airport. When they are in the plane, they need special seats, which are not too close to other passengers, because the children can find that stressful. The holiday will start on August 3 and they have to be back home on August 6.

 

Social Work assignment

Plan a trip for the Turner family, starting the 3rd of August and ending the 6th. Find a place, not too far from Schiphol Airport, where the family can stay and spend their holiday, making sure the autistic sons get the care they need, but not forgetting the daughter.

The holiday trip must contain:

  • The address of the place where the family will spend their days
  • One family trip, including all children, to a tourist attraction
  • One family trip, with the daughter alone, to a tourist attraction. The sons will stay in daycare for this day.

Aeronautical Service assignment

Arrange the flights of the Turner's family going to Amsterdam and returning home. The flight should depart on August 3 and return on August 6. Make sure you think about the children's condition when planning the flights, making sure they don't have to get up too early or arrive too late. Write the plans very clear, so the family knows exactly what to do when arriving at the airport.

The plan must contain:

  • Information about the times of departure and arrival for both flights
  • Information about the transport to the location and to the airport
  • A plan of what to do when at the airports
  • A seat number and location in the plane, decently far away from other passengers.

Group Assignment

Combine the assingments from both pairs in a document, making it an overview of the entire trip. Use the format given below.

Prepare a presentation of 5-7 minutes, in which you present your trip, from departure to arrival.

The final product has to be handed in on dropbox (link can be found on wikiwijs) and must contain the following files:

  • A word document containing an overview of the family trip from London to Amsterdam and their activities. The format of this document should be based on the format given.
  • A powerpoint presentation containing an overview of the family trip from London to Amsterdam. The presentation must contain author’s notes saying who is supposed to say what. Use different colours for all members in your group.
