Air travel is stressful, and it can be especially difficult for individuals with autism and other neurodevelopmental challenges. Presley’s Place offers a calming respite for travelers with sensory sensitivities and their families to de-escalate prior to getting on a plane or even after landing. To best understand the needs of the community, we brought together advocacy groups,individuals and caregivers of children with neurodevelopmental challenges to share their experiences and offer suggestions for the room’s design.
