Pathway to Work Program
From Public Benefits to Meaningful Employment — With Full Support
We help individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) confidently move from public benefits to sustainable employment, without losing the supports they depend on. Employment is more than finding a job; it requires benefits protection, skill development, and long-term guidance.
Why This Program Matters
Many individuals with I/DD want to work but face significant barriers that make the transition difficult. Pathway to Work removes these barriers through coordinated, structured support.
- Fear of losing SSI, SSDI, or Medicaid
- Limited understanding of work incentives
- Lack of digital skills for today’s job market
- Transportation instability
We do not simply help individuals find jobs. We help them secure their benefits, build confidence, develop skills, and sustain meaningful employment.
Our Comprehensive Approach
We provide step-by-step support to ensure stability, confidence, and lasting success.
Benefits Navigation & Protection

Work Without Fear of Losing Support
