Wings For All | April 29, 2023

Many people with autism and intellectual/developmental disabilities and their families have tried unsuccessfully or have not had the confidence to travel by air. The sights, sounds and movement by thousands of people in a busy airport can be overwhelming. Wings for All®, a national initiative of The Arc, gives people with autism and other intellectual/developmental disabilities and their families the opportunity to participate in an airport rehearsal program to help them feel more comfortable with air travel.
