On today's episode we speak with Alexandra Bruce. Alexandra serves as the medical advisory board chair and advocacy committee chair for the non-profit organization All Wheels Up. We discuss the barriers and risks that people with disabilities face when participating in air travel, and proposed solutions to improve air travel accessibility including designated wheelchair zones on planes and standardized training for airport and airline employees. She shares recommendations to address accessibility and air travel performance for occupational therapy practitioners across settings and resources to support change and equity.
