Autism-Friendly Resort

TradeWinds Island Resorts are two resorts, just steps away from one another on the white sands of St. Pete Beach, overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. With 14 dining and entertainment options, 7 pools, full service salon and spa, activities center for the kids and more, TradeWinds is the perfect location for a relaxing and fun getaway.

In November of 2010, TradeWinds Island Resorts was designated an Autism Friendly business by the Center for Autism and Related Disabilities (C.A.R.D.). TradeWinds employees underwent C.A.R.D.’s training program, which taught employees how to better meet the needs of guests who have autism and their families.

At TradeWinds, you can rest assured that they will take all your needs into consideration so you can “just let go”.

During your visit you can request a “Safety Kit” available for your room, which includes a hanging door alarm, corner cushions for tables and outlet covers.

For those with special diets, they have gluten free offerings available in our dining outlets. As a special treat they also have our Snack Attack amenity available, which includes a TradeWinds lunch bag and gluten free snacks.

For children, the KONK (Kids Only No Kidding) has special sensory activities available as well as selected drop-off programs for kids. Please call KONK at 727-363-2294 in advance to speak with a counselor about your child’s needs and so they can staff appropriately.
