Welcome to Pathway Services Unlimited

- Providing quality services since 1964

It is our aim to introduce the types of services we provide to families and individuals, from birth through adulthood. At Pathway Services Unlimited, we are persistent and dedicated to the services we bring to individuals in our multi-county service area. In doing so, we provide these various services and opportunities to families and individuals with disabilities:

Children’s Program
Adult Services
Regional Dental Services
Vocational Services
Home-Based Support Service (HBS)
Community Living Services

Our primary philosophy of Pathway Services Unlimited is to provide and stimulate the development of quality opportunities for persons with developmental disabilities and other physical and mental challenges. Input from families, guardians and stakeholders is the most valuable resource we have to continue to develop quality programs.
