Your clients deserve more than
a room that looks accessible.
Learn the OT-informed framework that teaches you to evaluate what's actually usable — before your clients arrive and find out it isn't.
Built by occupational therapists with 20+ years of clinical experience.
Price increases to $147 after July 4th · Lifetime access.
The moment every advisor knows...
A client says something, and you're not sure you know how to handle it.
"My husband uses a scooter."
"My daughter is autistic."
"I have MS and I fatigue easily."
"Will this room work for me?"
And suddenly you're in a position you weren't trained for — scanning supplier descriptions, hoping the photos tell the full story, and quietly thinking: "I really hope I don't get this wrong."
Most advisors were never taught how to assess usability, transfer needs, endurance, or assistance levels. That's not a character flaw. It's a gap in the industry — and it's exactly why we built Travel Ready™.
We're two occupational therapists who spent over a decade each evaluating how people actually function in physical environments. Now we've turned that clinical lens into a practical, non-medical framework that any travel advisor can use to plan with confidence.
Here's what no one tells you:
"Accessible" doesn't mean usable.
The checkbox says ✓
Roll-in shower available. But the bed is 32 inches high. Your client can't transfer independently.
The checkbox says ✓
"Accessible room available." But there's a two-inch lip on the shower threshold. Your client uses a wheelchair.
The checkbox says ✓
Wide doorways. But the bathroom layout means a scooter can't complete the turn. Useless.
We teach you to look beyond the checkbox — and see what your client will actually experience.

This isn't a course built by travel advisors
who learned about accessibility.
April Garcia,
Occupational Therapy Practitioner, Travel Advisor & Co-founder, BBTA
April spent 11 years as a COTA/L in skilled nursing and rehabilitation, working daily with patients whose ability to function independently depended on her ability to assess environments accurately. She started Be Brave Travel, an accessible travel agency in response to hearing too many patients who believed travel was off the table following a new diagnosis, injury, or illness.
She's also the BookFest Award-winning author of The Room to Be Brave and a keynote speaker whose work centers on helping people find courage in unfamiliar territory — which is exactly what this course is about.
Michelle Balcarcel
Occupational Therapy Practitioner, Co-founder, BBTA
Michelle brings 11 years of OT clinical experience alongside personal and professional experience supporting travelers with disabilities and neurodivergence. She understands accessibility not just as a practitioner but as someone who has had to advocate for her own family.
Michelle sees problems, and solutions to those problems, before they exist and has brought that foresight into every course in BBTA. Her lived experience, knowledge, problem solving ability, and compassion shine through in every lesson.
Why OT credentials matter here
Occupational therapy is the clinical discipline built around human function in real environments. OTs don't just know what "accessible" means on paper — we know what it means for a specific person's body, equipment, and independence. That's exactly the lens Travel Ready™ brings to trip planning.
