Frequently asked questions
The Pathways Program is a tailored and individual approach, based on specific goals and interests. Community and centre-based activities vary each week and align to the eight NDIS Outcome Domains (Daily Living, Home, Health and Wellbeing, Lifelong Learning, Work, Social and Community Participation, Relationships, Choice and Control).
Each participant has an individualised and tailored program, specific to their goals and interests. It won’t be exactly the same as someone else’s program, but focused on activities that meet outcomes as identified by participants and their family/guardian, allowing for optimal choice and control.
We are happy to discuss the options that best meet identified outcomes and welcome the opportunity to tailor a program to meet your needs.
We aim to schedule your Pathways Program activities to fit into your existing weekly schedule. Some participants attend the program for half a day per week, while others come for 2-3 days per week. We work with you to develop an individual outcomes-based plan that supports you to reach your goals.
We are more than happy to work with your existing supports to deliver a program that meets your specific requirements.
Pathways Program activities can be funded by NDIS plans, under:
