Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects every single aspect of a person's life. ASD affects how an individual thinks, how they communicate and plainly how an individual experiences the world. Keep in mind this is a spectrum disorder so it looks different in every individual. Some adults with ASD live independently and others may need around-the-clock support. The CDC estimates that 1 in 36 children in the United States have ASD.

The Shreveport Regional Airport Just Gave an Epic Tour to a Very Special Traveler

Logan and his Mom Mandy have visited the Shreveport Regional Airport since he was 2. Mandy knew that at one point in his life, Logan would travel and she wanted him to feel confident in his travels. After seeing someone else with ASD take a tour of the airport, Mandy reached out to the Shreveport Regional Airport to set up a tour of the airport so Logan could feel comfortable on the big day of travel.

A couple of weeks ago, we welcomed another very important guest to SHV! Logan and his mom, Mandy, visited our airport in anticipation of his first flight since he was 2 years old. Some of you may remember our friend Charles who visited the airport with his family back in June. Mandy reached out to us after hearing about Charles and asked us if we could assist Logan, who also has autism, and give him a tour of the airport so that he would be prepared for his flight.

Shreveport Regional Airport is encouraging locals to reach out if you have a family member who could gain some confidence from a tour of the airport or requires special assistance. "Please contact us at 318-673-5370 or email camille.mccall@shreveportla.gov. We would be happy to offer specialized services like these to ensure a smooth journey through our airport."
