Accessible Air Travel with Open Doors Organization

On this episode of INside the OUTcomes, we're exploring the challenges people with disabilities face when it comes to air travel, and opportunities to enhance accessibility. Mike Whelan, one of our guests, is a member of several Shirley Ryan AbilityLab spinal cord injury research advisory councils and counts himself as a "million miler" -- logging more than a million miles in the air as he travels the world with his manual wheelchair. Our other guest, Eric Lipp, is a former Shirley Ryan AbilityLab patient who turned a frustrating experience into a mission to make travel, transportation and tourism more accessible for all. Eric is the founder and executive director of the Open Doors Organization (https://opendoorsnfp.org/) , a nonprofit that trains transportation staff, leads accessibility advocacy, and collaborates with scientists at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab and Indiana University on research (https://www.sralab.org/research/labs/...) to improve air travel for people with disabilities. This podcast is supported by grants from the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research.
