Prepare for Travel with
Wings for All
Wings for All is returning to Denver International Airport! The Arc’s Wings for All is an airport rehearsal program that prepares those with autism or intellectual disability to navigate the airport. That way, when individuals need or wish to travel, they are already familiar with the process, which can sometimes be overwhelming.
Participants will practice the steps of going through the airport in a safe, realistic environment. The rehearsal includes:
- Checking in at the ticket counter to receive a boarding pass
- Going through TSA security
- Boarding a plane (that will not take off)
- A reception with light snacks and refreshments after deboarding the plane
Up to three family members or support people can attend with the individual.
Wings for All will take place on Saturday, October 12 at 10:00 AM. It is offered at no cost, but families will need to pay their own expenses to get to and from the airport.
To participate, you must register online. You can register or learn more by clicking here.
