Meet and Greet: An Introduction to Pathway to Common ground
We believe meaningful support begins with connection.
Pathway to Common Ground Positive Supports invites individuals with ID/DD, those who support them, and others interested in our work to join us for a virtual Meet & Greet and Introduction to Positive Supports.
This is an opportunity to meet members of our team, learn more about Pathway to Common Ground, explore the services and supports we provide, and ask questions about how we can partner with you or someone you support.
Who We Are
Pathway to Common Ground provides person-centered, relationship-focused, trauma-informed, and neurodiversity-affirming positive supports for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and the people who support them.
Our work is grounded in the belief that positive support is about more than reducing behaviors. It is about understanding the person, building meaningful connection, strengthening skills and relationships, supporting self-determination, and creating opportunities for people to experience greater dignity, belonging, and quality of life.

We will also talk about how our services can support individuals, families, residential providers, schools, employment teams, and other members of a person's support network.
