A Chat with Becky Large of Champion Austism Network

Becky Large, founder and CEO of the Champion Autism Network, discusses her efforts to make Myrtle Beach an inclusive destination for individuals on the autism spectrum. Starting in 2013 with sensory-friendly movies, her initiatives have expanded to include training programs for businesses, making Myrtle Beach and Surfside Beach the first autism-friendly travel destinations in the U.S. Her organization offers an online training program, an autism travel app, and sensory-friendly events. Large emphasizes the importance of non-judgment and kindness towards families with autism. Her work has gained international attention, with plans to expand globally and a new docu-series on Peacock highlighting her efforts.
