Facilities
1. Pathway Center for Rehabilitation & Education of the Mentally Retarded - Chennai
2. Pathway Center for Vocational Training & Education - Koothavakkam
Purpose of the above two facilities is to provide comprehensive care and educational opportunities for mentally handicapped children. Pathway is founded on the philosophy that every individual should be given the opportunity to utilize their potential in order to live with dignity and self respect, regardless of mental or physical limitations. Today over 100 children receive full care at the live-in facility, while another 300 children are seen on daily basis for rehabilitation and educational programs.
In Pathway, all children are served for free, without any charges. Prior to being admitted to the centre's Day or Residential program, each child is thoroughly screened and evaluated to assess their level of mental, neurological and physical development. These methods of testing and observation assist in designing a special education and vocational program for each child.
Pathway's goal is to offer medical care, special education and vocational training to as many mentally and physically handicapped children and adults as possible. During the last 27 years pathway has served more than 14000 children and adults with various problems and disabilities.
