Autism Society of Indiana in partnership with Delta Air Lines, and Indianapolis International Airport is happy to bring Soaring For Autism back after 2 years!

Soaring for Autism is a unique experience for individuals of all ages with autism. We know that traveling can be difficult for some children and adults with autism. We also know that preparation is the key to helping make the travel experience easier. Participants with autism and their companion (parents, caregivers, friends, siblings) will experience the steps most people take when coming to the airport.
