Unfortunately, US airlines do not, to my knowledge, offer any discounts for aides/companions of disabled passengers. Canadian and Australian airlines (last I looked...a couple of years ago) offer a 50% discount when a disabled passenger has a doctor certify they need a companion's assistance during flights.
It's a pet peeve of mine that if I were flying with a child under 12, I'd usually get a discount, but when I fly with my aide, I never do. It's not as though a child takes up less space or is served less food than an adult, so it's frustrating.
