The program, Wings for All, was founded by The Arc in 2014, according to a press release. 

"The program goal is to alleviate the stress of air travel with practice and to educate airport and airline personnel and TSA on ways to improve the experience for passengers of all ages with autism spectrum disorders and IDD," the press release states.

The event allowed families to experience the check-in process, as well as board and deboard a Breeze Airways plane.
