About Pathways to Independence
Pathways to Independence are more than a recreation-based program; we are uniquely focused on developing social, interpersonal and other soft skills in individuals with complex cognitive disabilities to help them overcome personal and professional challenges.
Behind everything we do, every interaction, we are building skills that open up new possibilities and pave the way to independence. Socializing, and more so, independence comes with risk, and we give participants the courage and confidence to take those risks.
Through these experiences and interactions, participants gain confidence, empowering them in all aspects of life, from their personal lives to their professional aspirations. Pathways to Independence helps develop productive members of society who can contribute to their communities in positive ways.
