Thank you to @roc_airport and @tsa for partnering with us to host another fantastic ROC Your Flight session!

Part of living a full life in the community includes being able to travel to faraway locations for both work and pleasure. People with intellectual and developmental disabilities are entitled to this piece of community participation—just like anyone else—and should be able to navigate air transit comfortably to experience the same opportunities as every other traveler. Thank you to the caring and compassionate staff at our local airport! ✈️
