Serving People with Disabilities (Aired on July 6 and 7, 2019)

In Flight, Inc. for over sixteen years has provided housing in group homes, day
habilitation in locations in Ulster and Columbia Counties, person-centered
services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and training
for transition to independent living in the community. RadioRotary interviews Bob
Lang, a Direct Support Professional who helps resolve the specific needs of the
persons he supports, and David Kitchings, Jr., who is one of the persons Mr.
Lang supports. Mr. Lang helps Mr. Kitchings and others live independently and
work in the community. The other interviewee on the program is Teresa Stivala,
Director of Human Resources for In Flight, who explains some of the other
programs that In Flight runs and also describes two important fundraisers for the
nonprofit, a golf tournament and the annual Holiday Formal for the people
supported. In Flight is happy to train individuals for roles as Direct Support
Professionals.
