Pathways Program
Carpentaria’s Pathways Program is an individual and outcomes-based approach to day program activities. Programs are tailored to individual interests and goals, and support ongoing learning and skill development opportunities across a wide range of activities. Delivered from our facilities in Tiwi and at various locations throughout the community, the program has a strong focus on engagement and skill development within the NDIS Outcomes Framework to meet individual NDIS goals in a group setting.
Your choice
The Pathways Program allows participants to:
- Choose what to do
- Set and achieve individual goals
- Transition from a school environment to adult life
- Build and maintain current skills
- Learn and develop new skills
- Maintain and develop meaningful relationships
- Access a wide range of programs and life experiences
- Explore individualised employment opportunities
Participants can choose a mix of programs to meet specific goals and interests.
Achieving unique goals
This example highlights the many and varied options available through the Pathways Program:
We have developed a unique Goals Reporting Framework to ensure that individual goals inform each step of the program, culminating in the collation of goals over a 12 month period to support NDIS planning meetings.
We use the eight NDIS Outcome Domains to offer a broad range of activities across all aspects of an individual’s NDIS Plan and goals. Activities are informed by Allied Health recommendations and meet individual requirements.
