Joshua’s Path Disability Services

Paving the Way to a Meaningful Life for Adults with Developmental Disabilities

Joshua’s Path at Goodman JFS supports, educates and empowers adults in the neurodiverse community as well as their families and caregivers. We provide consultations, a comprehensive website for community relations, free educational seminars and pathways to employment through social skills and work training.

B.O.O.S.T. (Building On Our Strengths Together)

The Joshua’s Path BOOST Program helps neurodivergent adults, including those with Autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, and other similarly abled individuals, build on their strengths and acquire interpersonal skills through classroom and hands-on learning and going out into the community to practice generalizing these skills. It explores ways to be part of the community through employment, volunteerism, and many other community opportunities. Register to set up an admisssions meeting.

By offering a pathway to employment, we are providing:

• Meaningful days, structure and routine
• A place to learn social skills and responsibility
• Directions and feedback given by someone other than a parent
• Opportunities to work as part of a team and maintain interpersonal connections and networks
• A sense of worth by contributing to society

Resources

Joshua’s Path operates the Broward County Jewish Abilities Alliance website, which serves as a user-friendly gateway to resources in the community for those with neurodiversities. The site provides comprehensive listings of community resources that users can filter by ages and needs, making it easy to navigate. The website also includes a calendar of inclusive and accessible events around Broward County or virtually for the neurodivergent individual.
