ABOUT PATHWAYS

Welcome to Pathways Pretoria, a dedicated Centre in South Africa, Pretoria East, catering to the unique and individual needs of children and young adults living with mild to severe, intellectual and physical disabilities. Here, we provide a supportive and inclusive environment where learners of all ages can thrive and grow.

OUR VISION

That all children and young adults living with a disability, regardless of race, background or severity of their disabilities, have unlimited opportunities to grow up knowing they are worthy, unique, and capable individuals.
That they will have confidence in their abilities, identities, and sense of connectedness to the world.
That their families are informed, educated, and confident to support them in the challenge.
To support other non-profit organisations with training and support, especially in areas of life-skills, employment training, skills-based programmes, and small business development.
To change the negative perception about disability in general through corporate training programmes and “buddy” projects with schools or other organisations.
To build facilities where adults living with disabilities could live independently from their parents using the supported living model and through this initiative assist families with long-term living options for their children.

MISSION & PHILOSOPHY

To provide learners with disabilities with the necessary skills for independence and integration; to develop their potential to the maximum, through excellent and appropriate education and remedial support based on relevant learning experiences.
To train and develop the skills of teachers, therapists, caregivers, and parents.
To find meaningful small business opportunities at Pathways or in the open labour market for our young adults through structured life-skills and employment programmes and pre-vocational skills.
