In addition to comprehensive care at its centers, Pathway has developed an outreach program that enables a child’s therapy to continue at home.
This unique program was created to address the following needs:
- Pathway attracts many children from different parts of India
- These children need a place to live while receiving treatment at Pathway
- No facility in India has the means or capacity to house every child who needs care
How it works
- A parent or family representative is trained by a rehabilitation expert at the center with specific therapy routines for their child
- The parent continue the therapy routines for their child in their own home
- The child must visit a Pathway center once every three months to be examined and monitored by professionals.
Benefits:
- The family becomes involved in the child’s care
- Family members attain a high level of proficiency in therapeutic treatment
- Housing costs are reduced for both the families and Pathway
- More children throughout India may be treated by Pathway professionals
In 2008-09, a total of 25 children participated in the Homebound Program
