How Do I Book A Practice Walkthrough At Shreveport Regional Airport?

We know that for the neurodivergent community, navigating the world, especially an airport, isn’t just about catching a flight; it’s about processing a million sensory inputs at once.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) impacts how a person communicates and experiences their surroundings, and because it’s a spectrum, no two travel days look the same. With the CDC now estimating that 1 in 36 children are diagnosed with ASD, the need for inclusive spaces is bigger than ever.

Confidence is the Ultimate Souvenir

Logan and his mom, Mandy. They’ve been visiting the Shreveport Regional Airport (SHV) since Logan was just two years old. Mandy’s goal? To make sure that when Logan’s big travel day finally arrived, he didn’t just feel ready, he felt confident.

After seeing a story about another local traveler named Charles who did a "practice run" at the airport, Mandy reached out to SHV to set up a personalized tour.

"Logan and his mom visited in anticipation of his first flight in years," airport officials shared. "Mandy reached out after hearing how we assisted our friend Charles. We were happy to walk Logan through the process so he felt prepared for the hustle and bustle of a real travel day."
