Traveling by train can be exciting, but train stations, loud announcements, unfamiliar routines, crowds, and waiting periods may also feel overwhelming for children and teens with Autism or other neurodivergent diagnoses.
 
This printable Train Station & Train Travel Kit was created to help children better understand what to expect before and during train travel. Using simple language, supportive visuals, and step-by-step explanations, this kit helps make the experience feel more predictable, calm, and manageable.

Arriving at the train station
Waiting for the train
Listening for announcements
Boarding the train safely
Finding seats and storing luggage
