At Pathways to Independence, we serve a variety of ages from those transitioning into adulthood to adults and seniors looking to build community. We also serve individuals with a wide range of cognitive disabilities such as autism level 1, learning disabilities, mild intellectual disabilities, AD(H)D, borderline intellectual functioning, written and expressive disorders, and brain injuries.
“When I joined Pathways, I was going to events to try to get to know people and try to make those connections. I wanted to gain confidence to get together with people outside of Pathways and with small groups. I’m doing that now.”
