The Pittsburgh International Airport has unveiled one of the world’s largest, most comprehensive airport sensory spaces, designed for families flying with loved ones on the autism spectrum.
The unlikely inspiration for the expansive new space? A pint-sized traveler: 4-year-old Presley Rudge. Seeing the difference a sensory room can make, Jason — who works as a heavy equipment operator at the airport — got the idea to install a sensory room in Pittsburgh’s airport. “It’s incredibly important that we are able to welcome all the passengers here who want to be here and we want to give them the best experience before they get on the airplane,” Cassotis said. “We see this as an enormous public service and opportunity. It’s going to make things better for families and for their fellow passengers.”
“It was made using all of the materials used in a real jet cabin and has all of the functions featured on an airplane,” she said. “It gets kids and adults acclimated.”
