ABOUT OUR PROGRAM
Pathways empowers youth with developmental disabilities, autism spectrum disorder and related conditions on their journey to independence as a young adult. An emphasis is placed in assisting youth to develop life skills necessary for community integration and lifelong success based on their needs. Pathways is offered in a group setting throughout southeast Michigan. Throughout the program youth will develop social & communication skills to promote vocational readiness, leisure enrichment and overall health. Our structured curriculum aims to increase self-efficacy, individual choice, self-management and social inclusion. Participation in each series supports higher quality of life outcomes for the individual by meeting them on their own path in life.
