The Arc’s Wings for All® program is The Arc’s airport “rehearsal” program which is designed to give individuals with IDD or Autism the opportunity to experience an airport in order to alleviate the stresses, hesitations, anxieties and fears that can act as a barrier which inhibit participation in air travel for individuals with IDD or autism.
Wings For All® 2026 is now at capacity – as a result, registration for Wings For All 2026 is closed.
