About the InFlight Skills Academy
An innovative online skills training program, the InFlight Skills Academy teaches vocational, social, health, and safety skills to individuals age 16+ with intellectual and developmental disabilities and autism.
Online learning has become common in education, and for good reason: it offers
learners the flexibility to learn at their own pace, allows the learner to
schedule class time around their busy schedules, provides access to those in
rural areas or with limited access to transportation, uses technology to make
the content more accessible (such as closed captioning, audio, visual, recorded
seminars, multi-modal assignments, and more), and provides the "quiet
learner" the opportunity to be heard. Average class sizes range anywhere
from 6-15 and are capped at 20 so students get to enjoy the perfect balance of
meaningful student-student and teacher-student interactions. Adjoin is offering
this unique post-secondary programming designed with neurodiverse learners in mind but open to all
learners!
