Day-Hab Without Walls "Out-and-About" Program

This is In Flight's newest program, serving individuals with developmental and/or physical disabilities. It is even more innovative and creative than the Day Habilitation program. Pursuing activities based upon the wants, including dreams, interests and abilities of the participants is the primary goal of this program. They are directed to choose activities that provide opportunities for community inclusion, participating and contribution.

The individuals served by going out-and-about can explore a number of opportunities available to them, while utilizing both the indoors and outdoors. The purpose is to help the participants become good citizens and members of their community. Based on the person's desires and support needs, any combination of outings may be selected. For example, an individual may volunteer at his/her church, attend an art class and go to a fitness center.

This option allows people to participate in various ways in the community. Volunteering in an integrated setting provides opportunities for regular interactions with individuals who do not have disabilities and are not paid caregivers. These situations may lead to rewarding connections and relationships and even eventual paid employment.

 

we strive to ensure
these individuals
become an important
part of their community
