Join us for our upcoming Ask-the-Expert webinar “Air Travel Accessibility and DM.” This webinar will feature Michele Erwin, founder and president of All Wheels Up, a nonprofit organization dedicated to making commercial aviation accessible for people in the US with disabilities including wheelchair users. Driven by a passion for advocacy and inclusion, Erwin has spearheaded efforts to promote research, awareness, and collaboration with airlines and regulators to ensure that people who use wheelchairs can travel by air safely and with dignity. Register now for a special presentation and update on air travel accessibility & DM!
This session will cover practical considerations for navigating air travel, including information on the Department of Transportation accessibility regulations, a guide on airline accessibility, assistive equipment helpful for travel, and knowing your rights when traveling with a disability. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from an expert and gain access to essential resources that can help inform airline travel for those living with myotonic dystrophy. There will be a Q&A session at the end, allowing participants to ask Ms. Erwin their most pressing questions about disability protections in the workplace.
