Air travel can feel overwhelming...especially when you do not know what to expect.

Wings for All® helps individuals with disabilities and their families practice the airport experience ahead of time in a supportive, low-stress setting.

From check-in and TSA to waiting at the gate and boarding the plane, this program helps build confidence and make future travel feel more manageable.

It also gives airport, airline, and TSA staff a chance to better understand how to support travelers with disabilities.
