Pathways Program

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.
