How Do We Get Started

Our process brings clarity, reduces uncertainty, and creates a personalized pathway toward greater independence.

Step 1: Connect & Learn More

Connect & Learn More

The first step is a conversation.

This introductory connection gives families the opportunity to learn more about Pathways, ask questions, share their young adult’s needs, and explore whether services may be the right fit.

This is a supportive, no-pressure conversation designed to help you better understand the process and available options.

Step 2: Intake Assessment

Complete the Intake Assessment

If Pathways feels like the right next step, we begin with an intake assessment to better understand your young adult’s strengths, support needs, readiness, and family priorities.

This helps create a clearer picture of current functioning and opportunities for growth.

Assessment areas may include:

  • Executive functioning 
  • Independent living skills 
  • Social communication 
  • Employment readiness 
  • Self-advocacy 
  • Safety awareness 
  • Transition goals 
  • Family priorities

Step 3: Personalized Pathways Plan

Receive a Personalized Pathways Plan

Using information gathered through the intake process, a customized Pathways Plan is developed to identify strengths, growth priorities, recommendations, and meaningful next steps.

Because independence looks different for every young adult, each plan is individualized, practical, and designed around real-life goals.

Your plan may include:

  • Identified strengths 
  • Priority growth areas 
  • Recommended service options 
  • Coaching focus areas 
  • Transition planning goals 
  • Suggested next steps

Step 4: Collaborative Planning Meeting

Collaborative Planning Meeting

Once the Pathways Plan is drafted, we meet together to review recommendations, answer questions, refine priorities, and ensure the plan reflects your young adult’s goals and family priorities.

This collaborative meeting creates shared clarity and helps determine the most meaningful next steps.

Step 5: Begin Your Pathway

Begin Your Pathway

Once the plan is finalized, personalized services begin based on the agreed-upon support approach.

Services may include:

  • Individual skill-building coaching 
  • Community-based coaching 
  • Employment readiness coaching 
  • Parent coaching 
  • Transition planning support 
  • Virtual services (when appropriate) 

This is where practical  progress begins.
