There are many ways you
can help.
Become a member of Pathways!
Do I
need to have a child
with special needs to join Pathways?
No, membership is open to everyone. Pathways for
Exceptional Children believes every
child is exceptional,
which is why
we developed our mentoring program, which gives
children without special needs a key role in our
recreational, educational, and leadership programs.
Pathways also provides opportunity for everyone—from
senior citizens, businesses, and other
organizations—to get involved.
What
types
of disabilities does Pathways focus on?
Pathways does
not focus on any one specific type of disability. Our
primary focus has always been based on decreasing the
70% national unemployment rate for all people with
disabilities of any kind.
Does Pathways provide only
educational assistance?
No, Pathways has a vast array of recreation
programs that teach sports, life and social skills, and
mentoring. Pathways also offers family support services,
including topic meetings, education committees, women’s
and sibling’s support groups, and Pathways Home-Based Buddies
program.
Membership
benefits:

children throughout the state. Membership also provides discounted
rates to our events, topic
meetings, conferences
and training courses.
