Every Mind in Flight — Air Travel Sensory Accessibility Survey Help us make air travel more accessible.
Every Mind in Flight began after an adult neurodivergent traveler successfully navigated the airport, boarded his flight, and prepared for departure—but an unexpected sensory trigger onboard made continuing the trip impossible.
We are gathering real experiences to better understand sensory barriers in air travel and what changes could make flying more accessible.
This survey is open to people with sensory, cognitive, developmental, and invisible disabilities, as well as parents, caregivers and others who support them.
You may participate anonymously. Please do not include medical records or private medical information you do not wish to share.
Every Mind in Flight is an independent accessibility initiative and is not affiliated with any airline.
Your experience can help shape change.
Every Mind in Flight is collecting lived experiences to better understand sensory barriers in air travel and identify practical ways airlines, airports and the disability community can make flying more accessible.
The survey takes just a few minutes and may be completed anonymously.

What effect can these sensory barriers have?
Would you intentionally choose a flight designed to provide greater sensory predictability if one were available?
Would you choose a different departure time to access that option?
Which changes would make air travel more accessible for you?
About animals and accessibility: Every Mind in Flight does not advocate excluding legally protected service animals. Our goal is to explore ways to improve sensory predictability without creating barriers for other disabled travelers.
