I want to find out as much as I possible can before it comes down to a decision about her care.
Thank you.
My mom at stage 3 would have been confused by the whole experience of flying, but she would have have been settled by talking in a calm and assuring manner. Of course, everyone is different. You might want to write or call ahead to the airport safety director or screening manager and talk about your concerns. You might even be able to get specific help in some airports.
