The Pathways for People Day Program is located in a 3000 square foot facility in Cary, NC that houses a music room, computer lab, arts and crafts room, yoga/dance space, a central meeting space, and a relaxation room. The day program is intended for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and participants attend using Day Supports (Group & Individual) through the Community Alternatives Program (CAP).  Private pay is also accepted.  

Our program enables adults to participate in structured group based programs that nurture new skills through art, technology, therapeutic movement (dance, yoga, etc.), and other activities. We are currently offering music, arts and crafts, photography, computer, life skills, yoga, dance, social skills, vocational training, sign language, drama, and other classes with an emphasis on developing motor skills, attention span, task completion, and attendance.

Groups sizes are between 4-6 participants and a full day consists of 7 periods (1 of which is lunch) that are 45 minutes long.  A wide variety of methods are used to teach with the focus on finding how each individual learns best. All of our instructors have experience working with individuals with special needs as well as the respective courses they are teaching.
