Please share your stories, photos, videos, and graphics about your air travel experiences as a passenger with a disability

Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) launched AirAccess30.org to collect stories from PVA members and the disability community about their air travel experiences. PVA is working with the disability community to bring attention to the successes and failures in air travel for passengers with disabilities.

The following is from the Paralyzed Veterans of America post:
The Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) was passed by Congress and signed into law on October 2, 1986. This law guarantees that people with disabilities receive consistent and nondiscriminatory treatment during air travel and requires air carriers to accommodate the needs of passengers with disabilities. 
In preparation for the 30th Anniversary of the ACAA, we are seeking your help in showing the progress that has been made as well as highlighting the work that still needs to be done to accomplish the spirit of the ACAA. 
Please use our submission form to share your stories, photos, videos, and graphics about your air travel experiences as a passenger with a disability.Thank you in advance for your participation!
