Important Notice
For the latest on flights and Hurricane Irma, please check with your airline. We also encourage you to follow us on Twitter for updates.
Flying is something many take for granted. We hop on and off airplanes and within hours, we are able to see the world. Yet for individuals with cognitive or developmental disabilities like autism, traveling can be stressful and anxiety-including. The crowds, noise and unfamiliar surroundings can be overwhelming.
The MIA Airport Instruction and Readiness (MIAair) program allows passengers with different disabilities the opportunity to practice the travel experience in a safe and controlled environment. The program helps prepare travelers for future flights.
The program was developed in partnership with the University of Miami-Nova Southeastern University Center for Autism and Related Disabilities (CARD) and the Ear Institute at UHealth – the University of Miami Health System.
MIAair is a dress rehearsal program that allows passengers with different disabilities the opportunity to practice the travel experience in a safe and controlled environment. The program helps prepare travelers for future flights.
