✈️ Know your rights when you fly! ♿

Did you know the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) protects travelers with disabilities from discrimination and requires airlines to provide essential accommodations and assistance?

From boarding support and mobility device protections to accessible features and how to speak up when something goes wrong, knowing your rights can help make air travel safer and more accessible.

📖 Read MDA’s guide to the ACAA to learn what protections are in place, how the 2024 Wheelchair Rule strengthens passenger rights, and what to do if you encounter a problem while traveling.

Babies with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) in Northern Ireland don't have time to wait.

Together with Spinal Muscular Atrophy UK we're campaigning to make sure every baby in Northern Ireland is screened for spinal muscular atrophy.

Without newborn screening, babies are being diagnosed too late to receive effective treatment to prevent permanent muscle damage.

Newborn screening for SMA is the best way to identify the condition before symptoms appear, so babies can receive these life-changing treatments.

Scotland and parts of England are already screening for SMA - but there are currently no plans to roll out screening in Northern Ireland.

We need to act now, and we need your help.

If you live in Northern Ireland, you can help make sure every baby is screened for SMA by writing to your MLA.
