A new program pioneered at Albert Einstein Healthcare Network (AEHN) is allowing children affected by autism to become more familiar with the sights and sounds of travel before taking a real trip on an airplane.
The Autism Explores™ program coaches families through the process of air travel by creating a staged scenario where they experience actual activities at the airport from curb to cabin and back, including checking in at the ticket counter, going through security, waiting at the gate, boarding the plane, taking a simulated flight and collecting luggage at the baggage check.
In addition to supporting families engaging in air travel, Autism Explores helps train airport personnel to recognize and properly respond to families who are traveling with children with autism.
To date, They have trained over 130 airport and airline employees on autism. This week the program was brought to Newark Liberty International Airport.

Its a really wonderful Blog. Once you do get on the plane, there are a few things you can do to help minimize jetlag. The first is to change your watch to your destination time the second you get on the plane.
