VOCATIONAL SERVICES
Pathway is renowned for its rich and colorful
history of vocational development. For years we have been constructing almost all of our own facilities.
Under the supervision of teaching credentialed vocational instructors, our young men acquire real skills. We encourage teamwork and promote the development of effective work ethics.
"Our boys" typically have strong backs and calloused hands from carpentry, basic plumbing and electricity, masonry, roofing, and home maintenance courses.
EDUCATIONAL SERVICES
Pathway is licensed by the Alabama State Department of Education to provide both regular and special education classes.
Individualized educational plans are implemented for each student and all academic credits are eligible for transfer.
Typically our special education certified teachers serve classes of fewer than 10 students with assistance from behavioral aides.
DIETARY SERVICES
Pathway's new dining facility was constructed by our boys and serves as one treatment milieu for the development of independent living skills. More than during any other period of life, our clients require large quantities of good and nutritionally appropriate food.
Pathway provides for consultative services by a registered, licensed dietician to ensure that special dietary needs, as well as those of growing young men are met.
