Manchester Airport – Support for families with children on the Autistic Spectrum
Travelling through an airport can be stressful for children on the Autistic Spectrum, especially when it’s a break in their routine and they are unsure of what to expect.
Manchester Airport have produced booklets to take you on the journey through Manchester Airport, using photographs to explain the process you will take. It has been divided into the various stages of your journey through the airport, describing what you will see and hear, from arriving at the airport, going through security and through to returning back home.
In each section there is a tick box for you to interact and engage with your child in the sights and sounds along your journey through the airport. They have also launched an accompanying video which can be viewed at www.manchesterairport.co.uk. There is space at the back of the book for your child to jot down any worries they may have and also a fun zone to fill time when you may be waiting around.
To help make your time at the airport as stress free as possible for you and your child, you can now request a free wristband for your child to wear which entitles the child wearing it, and all accompanying members of the party, to use the fast-track security lanes in each terminal. Simply call or email to request one at least a week before you plan to travel.
