PATH Transition Program
PATH Transition Program
The PATH Program supports participants in fostering learning, establishing friendships, building self-confidence, and working towards achieving their goals.
The REED Autism Services PATH Transition Program is a post-secondary, two-year, college-based certificate program in partnership with Felician University. The New Jersey Department of Education approved program is designed to impart crucial career readiness and life skills for young adults with autism.
Located on the Rutherford campus of Felician University, PATH students will have the opportunity to experience life as part of a college community. Students will have access to Felician University amenities, including the dining hall, fitness center, computer lab, gaming center, and study rooms. When appropriate, students may have the opportunity to take or audit Felician University courses.
PATH blends dynamic classroom instruction with real-world application, emphasizing four key pillars: community engagement, employment, self-determination, and household/personal management. The program, which also includes vocational training through work-based learning, equips students with the tools for meaningful employment.
PATH will work with community partners to create individualized experiences that match each student’s unique interests and strengths. For example, NEWHD Media provides opportunities in communications and media, such as broadcasting, podcasting, writing, and sales. Throughout the program, students will have the opportunity to explore various work-based learning opportunities.
