ANXIETIES AND THEIR ALLEVIATION OF DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED PEOPLE DURING AIR TRAVEL
This study evaluated the effectiveness of a monitored travel program through a pre-boarding experience session for persons with developmental disabilities who have anxiety or difficulty in flying with regard to reducing the anxiety and difficulties. The results showed they who had previously given up on travel could enjoy safe travel and have successful experiences if appropriate they were provided through this program, indicating the effectiveness of this program, which conducts air travel as a series of itineraries. Furthermore, the relationship between the roles of providers offering reasonable accommodation and points to keep in mind when offering that were clarified.
