Today we embarked upon our 7th Annual Autism In Flight Program at the Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. We partnered with 4th and 5th graders from 8 Broward County Schools, along with teachers and the students’ parents. The purpose of the program is to provide a learning experience for children diagnosed with Autism. Participants received an opportunity to become familiar and more comfortable with the airport and flight environment to reduce stress for all during future travels. I thank Mr. Jason Annunziata- Director of JetBlue, the airport staff, and ALL of our partners for a job well done. Commissioner Dr. Barbara Sharief.
