PATHS (Person-centered Alternatives To Help Students) offers transition opportunities for students as they prepare to leave school. "Transition" is defined as a coordinated set of activities which promote movement from school to post-school services for the student with a disability. Working with the student's school and family, our staff of professionals will develop a plan for services before the student leaves school.
Person-Centered Planning is a process in which a student's talents and interests are considered first. This allows a better determination as to which services will help the student move closer to their own goals.
