About Pathways to Independence Collaborative
Supporting young adults with learning and intellectual disabilities as they build confidence, independence, and meaningful pathways into adulthood.
Meet the Founder and Executive Director
Built from Experience. Guided by Purpose.
Pathways to Independence Collaborative was founded on a simple but powerful belief: every young adult deserves the opportunity to build confidence, independence, and a meaningful future—and every family deserves a trusted partner along the way.
Dr. Jayme Joslyn brings both professional expertise and personal understanding to this work.
With a Doctorate in Educational Leadership and extensive experience as an assistant principal, principal, transition coordinator, and Director of an Inclusive Postsecondary Education Program, Dr. Joslyn has dedicated her career to supporting young adults with special needs and families through important educational and life transitions. Her professional background includes educational leadership, special education, student success, transition planning, disability advocacy, and building pathways that help individuals move toward greater independence with confidence.
As a parent of three children who have each experienced the educational system differently, she also understands firsthand the balancing act families often face—wanting to encourage independence while navigating questions about safety, readiness, and the future.
That combination of professional expertise and personal perspective inspired the creation of Pathways to Independence Collaborative.
At Pathways, families find more than a service provider—they find a collaborative partner who understands both the professional landscape and the deeply personal journey of supporting a young adult toward independence.
