SUMMARY:Wings for All at Dulles Airport
DESCRIPTION:Become a sponsor! \nWings for All is a free program that gives families and aviation professionals the confidence to take to the skies with ease by providing an airport “rehearsal\,” as well as a presentation on the aircraft features and in-flight safety protocols. The Arc of Loudoun and The Arc of Northern Virginia partner with United Airlines and MWAA to design and carry out this program. By getting comfortable with the airport and flight experience (without actually leaving the airport) people with disabilities and their families can gain the familiarity and confidence they need to take future trips. \nRegister here! \nAirports and airplanes can be overwhelming and full of unexpected and overstimulating variables\, such as bright lights\, noises\, TSA security screening\, and crowds. Too often\, there is a lack of understanding among airport and airline staff—leading to confusion on how to handle accommodations or unexpected behaviors when a flier is overwhelmed or nervous about navigating the air travel process. \nCombined\, these barriers lead to hesitation and fear\, inhibiting participation in air travel. As a result\, people can miss out on new experiences and connecting with family members and friends that live far away. \nPart of living a full life in the community includes being able to travel to faraway locations for both work and pleasure. People with disabilities are entitled to this piece of community participation—just like anyone else—and should be able to navigate air transit comfortably to experience the same opportunities as every other traveler. \nDuring this free\, half-day event\, people with disabilities and their families are able to familiarize themselves with the airport and travel procedures. They experience: \n\nEntering the airport\nThe check-in process and checking bags\nSecurity screening\nBoarding the plane\nPreparing for take-off\nExiting the plane\n\nRegister online!\nBecome a sponsor!
