School is almost starting… Sit down with your child for 5 minutes and explain that there is no reason to make fun of someone for being tall, short, chubby, skinny, black, white or hispanic. Autistic, etc. There's nothing wrong with wearing the same shoes 👞 👟 every day. Explain to them that a used backpack 🎒 carries the same dreams as a new one. Please teach them not to exclude anyone for "being different" or not having the same possibilities as another. Explain to them that teasing hurts... and that school is for going to LEARN, NOT to compete 💜 You and I are worth the same!!!! Education starts at home‼️

TSA Cares Program
TSA Cares graphic. Are you traveling this summer? If you are traveling by plane, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has a program called TSA Cares that may be right for you. This program provides information on airport security procedures. It is designed to help passengers with disabilities or medical conditions who need additional assistance preparing for the security screening process at the airport.

You or someone traveling with you should talk to a TSA officer if you need assistance during screening. You can tell the TSA officer of your disability or medical condition. You can also use a TSA Notification Card https://www.tsa.gov/sites/default/files/disability_notification_card_508.pdf. They will help determine the best way to complete the screening process. More details about the TSA Cares program are available on the TSA website https://www.tsa.gov/travel/tsa-cares/disabilities-and-medical-conditions
