Fresno Yosemite International Airport launches ‘MagnusCards’
FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – The Fresno Yosemite International Airport in partnership with Magnusmode launched a new accessibility initiative.
As part of World Autism Awareness Month, the Fresno Yosemite International Airport says MagnusCards is a smartphone application available for iOS and Android created by Magnusmode.
Magnusmode is an organization centered around autism inclusion and offers travelers step-by-step visuals, audio, and text to make daily activities more manageable for people of all abilities including their travels through FAT.
“Fresno Yosemite International Airport is pleased to share MagnusCards with our community’s travelers in support of all individuals and families,” said Director of Aviation Henry Thompson. “MagnusCards aligns with our initiatives to help make the airport experience welcoming, comfortable, and inclusive for every traveler to navigate their journey with confidence and ease.”
“MagnusCards was inspired by my experiences helping my autistic brother navigate a world that was not designed with his needs in mind. Airports and other public spaces can be overwhelming and confusing environments for everyone, and especially challenging for autistic and neurodivergent individuals,” said Nadia Hamilton, Founder & CEO, of Magnusmode.
Travelers and their caregivers can find the free MagnusCards app at flyfresno.com. The Card Decks are available in English and Spanish.
