In-Person Classes

Attending in-person classes presents a whole world of opportunities for Pathways students. Not only do they get to engage with their peers and teachers on a social level, but they also get to experience hands-on learning that caters to their individual needs. Students are able to participate in community activities like volunteering, field trips, and even Special Olympics. These experiences create a rich and diverse learning environment that fosters creativity, independence, and personal growth.

Scholarships

We don’t want finances to be a barrier for families, so we fundraise each year to provide scholarships of up to 100% of tuition cost to anyone with a need. After you submit the Enrollment Inquiry Form, we will give you all the information you need to know about scholarships as we visit with you for an interview and tour of the facility.

Eligibility

When openings exist, enrollment is available to individuals aged 18 or older and who have an intellectual or developmental disability or Autism Spectrum Disorder and who, with or without reasonable modifications that do not fundamentally alter the nature of the program, can participate in Pathways’ group-based programming and community outings.

What’s a Typical Day at Pathways?

Each day is different and includes different classes and activities. Here is an example of a full day at Pathways.
 
Start of Day
A teacher greets students at the door, and they head down to start their day in worship. After worship, teachers ready students for the day with “Team Time” and head to their classrooms.
 
Morning Classes
For the rest of the morning, students participate in hands-on classes that last 30 minutes each in subjects like reading, science, and daily living skills. They also spend time in fitness to keep moving and stay engaged.
 
Lunch Time
Students eat lunch and enjoy spending time with each other and teachers.
 
After Lunch
A group of students are transported to the Pathways shuttle to volunteer in the community, train for the Special Olympics, or go on a field trip.
 
Afternoon Classes
Students enjoy classes like Bible study, math, nutrition, and the arts.
 
End of Day
Students play games and socialize while waiting for rides home.

Program Eligibility Statement

When openings exist, enrollment is available to individuals who meet Pathways’ eligibility criteria and who, with or without reasonable modifications that do not fundamentally alter the nature of the program, can participate in Pathways’ group-based programming and community outings.

Pathways is a group-based educational day program and does not provide nursing care, medical services or interventions, medication administration, hands-on personal care assistance (including toileting or feeding), lifting or transferring assistance, or ongoing dedicated one-on-one staffing. Pathways also does not provide Habilitation Specialist services, Daily Living Supports, Family Training, Employment Training Services, Group Home services, Sheltered Workshop services, or Community Integrated Employment services, which are distinct services outside Pathways’ group-based educational program model.

As part of the enrollment, re-enrollment, and continued participation process, Pathways conducts an individualized assessment of each applicant or participant to determine whether the person’s needs can be accommodated within the structure of the program through reasonable modifications that do not fundamentally alter the nature of the program or create a direct threat to the health or safety of others.
