CLT Wings for All ® | Saturday April 13, 2024
Wings for All® is like a friendly helping hand from The Arc, reaching out to folks dealing with the ups and downs of autism and intellectual/developmental disabilities, along with their awesome families. You know how nerve-wracking air travel can be, right? All those noisy crowds, crazy sounds, and non-stop action in the airport can make it feel like an impossible mission for many in these communities.
But hey, here’s where Wings for All® swoops in with hope! They’ve come up with this super cool airport rehearsal program that creates a safe space for everyone. Families and individuals get to practice every step of the journey – from check-in to security to boarding – in a supportive environment. It’s like a dress rehearsal for the real deal! The whole point? To boost confidence and squash any worries, making sure that everyone gets to experience the excitement and freedom of flying.
So with Wings for All®, the sky’s the limit! It’s all about opening up endless possibilities, where every single person, no matter their challenges, can take flight and reach for the stars.
The Arc has evolved into the leading advocacy organization for people with intellectual or developmental disabilities and their family members.
