Since the mid 1990s, In Flight, Inc. has provided services for intellectually and developmentally disabled adults in a residential setting. That includes programs in Ulster and Columbia counties, as well as a Day Habilitation Program in Catskill. InFlight’s Employee Training Program (SEMP) helps promote independence for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities by giving them the support and skills they need to find and maintain employment. Participants in the SEMP program work one-on-one with a job coach to develop their job skills and find employment that fits their skills and interests. InFlight’s goal is to hire an additional job coach to double the number of people who can participate in the program. The Ascienzo Family Foundation granted InFlight a total of $20,000 towards the SEMP program, and looks forward to seeing the great work the program is able to accomplish. This was the second time the AFF has partnered with InFlight- in 2020 $1,000 was provided towards sensory rooms that InFlight was building to using in their day therapy programs.
