Sensory support kits contain tactile and sensory items that can provide additional support for autistic and neurodivergent travellers at Winnipeg Richardson International Airport.
Each kit includes various items, such as fidget spinners, squeeze balls and stuffed toys that encourage self-soothing and can help an individual remain calm in a stressful or overstimulating environment.
Travellers can pick up a sensory support kit for free at the Information Booth on the Arrivals Level of the terminal.
Anyone needing accessibility assistance should contact their airline at least 48 hours before their flight. Winnipeg Richardson International Airport’s accessibility programs provide additional support for travellers but do not replace air carrier processes for accessibility assistance.
