American Airlines promove evento de preparação para autismo no aeroporto de Charlotte

A American Airlines estabeleceu uma parceria com organizações de apoio ao autismo para ajudar famílias a vivenciarem os procedimentos aeroportuários durante o Mês da Aceitação do Autismo. Cinquenta famílias com crianças no espectro autista participaram da iniciativa no Aeroporto de Charlotte-Douglas no último sábado. O evento simula check-in, segurança, embarque e taxiamento para reduzir a ansiedade em viagens.

Em Charlotte, Carolina do Norte, a American Airlines organizou um evento no Aeroporto de Charlotte-Douglas para familiarizar crianças com autismo e suas famílias com as operações aeroportuárias. A iniciativa, realizada no sábado, permitiu que 50 famílias locais passassem pelo check-in, pela inspeção de segurança, pelo embarque na aeronave e pelo taxiamento na pista. Essa experiência prática visa reduzir o estresse das viagens aéreas para crianças com necessidades especiais durante o Mês da Aceitação do Autismo, celebrado em abril. “É algo de que toda criança, toda pessoa precisa participar”, disse Scott Dillingham, pai e funcionário da American Airlines. “Sinto orgulho de ser funcionário desta companhia aérea por saber que eles fazem isso anualmente.” A companhia aérea realiza eventos semelhantes todos os anos desde 2014, em colaboração com a Autism Speaks, a Autism Charlotte e a Autism Society da Carolina do Norte e do Sul. Essas parcerias proporcionam uma exposição estruturada ao ambiente geralmente caótico do aeroporto, ajudando os participantes a ganhar confiança para futuros voos. Conforme relatado primeiramente pela WSOC TV, o programa destaca o compromisso contínuo da American Airlines em apoiar famílias afetadas pelo autismo.
