Norfolk airport hosts practice travel day for travelers with autism
Original: ORF hosts Let’s Fly event, letting people with autism spectrum disorders and other intellectual disabilities practice airport travel
Norfolk International Airport in Virginia held a Let's Fly event giving people with autism spectrum disorders and other intellectual disabilities the chance to rehearse the airport experience before a real trip. Participants practiced steps like check-in, security screening and boarding in a low-pressure setting. The program aims to make air travel less stressful and more accessible for neurodivergent passengers and their families.
Why now: The event offers a rare, practical accessibility initiative that resonates with families of travelers with disabilities and highlights growing attention to inclusive air travel.
