Inclusive Pathways Project LLC

Thrilled for our new partnership with Torrington Area Families for Autism-TAFA !

🥳Exciting news!
When we say that we truly take in, listen to and prioritize action on every need we hear from local families, this is what we mean 😊
One of the most common calls to our Common-Unity center is parents looking for behavioral/ ABA support for their children. Due to barriers like our rural geography and limited HUSKY providers, parents in crisis often face lengthy waitlists to even start conversations with BCBA’s on how to support their child’s needs.
Due to an exciting partnership with Nick Lucatino, M.S. BCBA, LBA-CT; founder and Executive Director of Inclusive Pathways Project LLC and generous grant support from United Way Northwest Connecticut we will be able to provide 10 families with 5 one-hour 1:1 virtual BCBA coaching/ consult sessions individualized to their concern/ need at absolutely no cost. We will also have Spanish translation available for Spanish-speaking families looking to access this opportunity. These sessions will allow parents to receive immediate, highly individualized clinical feedback on how to support the unique needs in their home through an easily accessible online format. This is what removing barriers to accessibility and equity looks like in action 😊
We are so thankful to be a part of the amazing northwest CT community, and to be surrounded by wonderful partnerships and collaborations who truly help us achieve our mission and support our local children and families to the best of our ability. Thank you again to the team at United Way of Northwest CT for believing in the importance of funding this program ❤️🧩

Huge thank you to in Oxford, CT for hosting us today for an awesome job shadow experience! We had the chance to learn about the world of car detailing, see the process up close, and explore an incredibly cool shop. We are so grateful for caring community partners like Buonauto Enterprises who take the time to create meaningful learning opportunities for the individuals we support. 🚗✨

Huge congratulations to Stanley, one of our Hawaii-based Transition Consultants, on graduating from Chaminade University of Honolulu with his Education Specialist Degree in School Psychology! 🌺🎓

We are so proud to have Stanley on our team and excited to see the impact he will continue to make supporting students, families, and school communities!

Big congratulations to our Life Skills Coach, Office Manager, and overall jack of all trades, Madison, on graduating from the University of Rhode Island! 🎓

We are so proud of everything she’s accomplished and incredibly lucky to have her on our team. Congrats, Madison! 💙

My final stop this week was at Crystal Springs School in Assonet, MA, where they support individuals with severe to profound developmental disabilities. One thing that really stood out was how integrated their nursing and medical services are throughout the campus. Walking through the grounds felt more like walking through a neighborhood than a traditional program setting. My favorite stops were definitely their beautiful indoor pool and adapted tree house!

Made it back to in East Sandwich, MA on a sunny afternoon to get a closer look at their middle school, high school, and GROW transition program. Always impressed with the work they are doing, and it was exciting to hear about their next steps into the adult services world! Thanks for hosting us!

This morning I got out to in Brewster, MA and learned more about their work supporting students with Prader-Willi Syndrome. The school places a large emphasis on health and fitness, and it’s clear how intentionally that’s built into the day-to-day experience for students.

This afternoon I took a long-awaited trip out to the Cardinal Cushing Centers in Hanover, MA to see the great work being done across their continuum of services. I was especially impressed by their vocational programming, from the cafe and gift shop to the greenhouse and thrift store!

Starting my Monday morning off right with a tour of the League School for Autism in Walpole, MA!

The League School utilizes the SCERTS Model as a framework for programming, with a focus on Social Communication, Emotional Regulation, and Transactional Supports. Thank you to their team for the warm welcome!
