American Airlines organiza un evento de preparación sobre el autismo en el aeropuerto de Charlotte

American Airlines se asoció con organizaciones de autismo para ayudar a las familias a experimentar los procedimientos aeroportuarios durante el Mes de la Aceptación del Autismo. Cincuenta familias con niños que viven con autismo participaron el sábado en el Aeropuerto Internacional Charlotte-Douglas. El evento simula el registro, la seguridad, el embarque y el rodaje para aliviar la ansiedad durante los viajes.

En Charlotte, Carolina del Norte, American Airlines organizó un evento en el Aeropuerto Internacional Charlotte-Douglas para familiarizar a los niños con autismo y a sus familias con las operaciones aeroportuarias. La iniciativa, celebrada el sábado, permitió a 50 familias locales pasar por el proceso de registro, control de seguridad, embarque en un avión y rodaje por la pista. Esta experiencia práctica tiene como objetivo reducir el estrés de los viajes aéreos para los niños con necesidades especiales durante el Mes de la Aceptación del Autismo en abril. “Es algo de lo que cada niño, cada persona, necesita ser parte”, dijo Scott Dillingham, padre y empleado de American Airlines. “Me enorgullece ser empleado de esta aerolínea porque hacen esto de manera anual”. La aerolínea ha organizado eventos similares cada año desde 2014, en colaboración con Autism Speaks, Autism Charlotte y la Autism Society of North and South Carolina. Estas asociaciones proporcionan una exposición estructurada al entorno habitualmente caótico de los aeropuertos, ayudando a los participantes a ganar confianza para futuros vuelos. Como informó primero WSOC TV, el programa subraya el compromiso continuo de American Airlines de apoyar a las familias afectadas por el autismo.
