You Ask. We Answer.

No, we have a private pay option. We do encourage families to apply for Agency for Persons with Disabilities (APD) iBudget services if they haven't already done so!
How much is the private pay option?
The cost will depend on how many days a week your participant attends Pathways to Opportunity (PTO). Please contact us at (239) 823-1625 for more information.
What is the difference between Medicaid and Medicaid Waiver (Med Waiver)?
Medicaid focuses on medical care, Medicaid Waivers focus on long-term, supportive services that help individuals thrive in their communities.
-
Medicaid is a health insurance program primarily for low-income individuals and families. It covers essential medical services like doctor visits, hospital stays, prescriptions, and preventive care. Its primary focus is on providing access to healthcare services for medical and wellness needs.
-
A Medicaid Waiver provides additional support services not typically covered by Medicaid, particularly for individuals with disabilities or special needs.
If I sign up for the Life Skills Development Program do I have to come 5 days a week?
No, you can come as many days as you'd like based on availability.
What classes are offered?
We currently offer a variety of classes for different interest. These are some of the classes we are offering this quarter: baking, cooking, bowling, community events, daily living skills, independent living, math, library and journalism, comedy, choir, art, and advocacy council.
How often does our schedule change?
Each quarter will consist of 3 months. Your schedule will change after those initial 3 months are up. Your new schedule will be given to you about 2-3 weeks in advance.
