Airports can be one of the hardest parts of travel for many.
Some airports offer sensory-friendly or rehearsal-style programs that allow families to:
• Practice security screening
• Walk through boarding routines
• Experience the environment without the pressure of an actual flight
Programs like TSA Cares and Wings for Autism are designed to help increase predictability and reduce stress before travel day.
Not every airport offers these programs, but knowing what exists can make planning feel a little more manageable.
Save this for later travel planning.
