Pathways to Independence supports people with developmental
challenges, acquired brain injury and those who may be dually-diagnosed
with residential options and day and vocational programs in many
communities throughout south-eastern Ontario.
Fully-accredited by the Canadian Council on Health Services,
Pathways to Independence is a not-for-profit agency governed
by a knowledgeable Board of Directors, staffed by professional
and caring people and supported by dedicated volunteers since
1990. We are guided day-to-day by our vision — that all people
enjoy a high quality of life as an accepted member of their chosen
community. Pathways to Independence has earned a reputation as
an agency promoting and advocating for the people we support
as well as enabling people with challenges to realize their potential
and gain self-empowerment. 
A pathway serves as a way to the known and unknown
of life. Whether converging or diverging, pathways
allow people to explore their dreams, choices, options,
rights and responsibilities. This exploration process
is reflected in our Quality Life Planning Process —
a unique, person-centered life plan that informs and
guides how each individual is supported.
Pathways to Independence invites you to explore the
many choices we offer to the people we support, their
families and the broader communities we serve.
