Planning a trip and worried about having your child go through security and/or being on a plane? Make sure to check out TSA Cares before your travel. If you contact them 3 days prior to you departure and provide them with your flight number they will help make sure that you are supported through the entire process. You will need to tell them your child’s diagnosis, what things will make it difficult for them, and what strategies might help them have a successful experience. You can also print out a TSA Cares card via their website to carry with you.
TSA Cares usually connects with your via email and/or phone, goes over your itinerary and will talk to you about what will happen. When you get to TSA you tell them you have spoken to a TSA Cares representative and they will take it from there.
TSA Cares is absolutely amazing and very helpful! It makes traveling a lot easier and less stressful for everyone.
