The PATH program is a transdisciplinary evaluation and training program designed to meet the diversified training needs of consumers who benefit from a functional approach to learning. The consumers participating in this program typically benefit from real opportunities to transfer learned skills, but do not easily generalize among environments, people and tasks. The program provides training with a focus on communication and language development.
Communication is integrated and facilitated during all activities.
Individuals may use a variety of communication methods such as tangible object symbols, sign language, and picture communication books. Opportunities for orientation and mobility, skills of daily living, work adjustment and job skills development occur naturally throughout a typical program day. Learning is facilitated by a core group of service providers who work with the consumers across all content areas and functional environments. The sequence and presentation of skill training are embedded in meaningful activities.
