The Pathway School | Jeffersonville, PA
10-Month School Year | Monday–Friday | 7.5 hours/day

At The Pathway School, speech therapy is about much more than working on communication goals. It’s about helping students find their voice, build confidence, connect with others, and develop skills they can use in school, at home, and in their communities.

Located on a beautiful 12-acre campus in Jeffersonville, PA, The Pathway School is a nonprofit special education school serving students ages 5–21 (grades K–12+) from more than 50 regional school districts and charter schools. Our students have a range of needs, including autism, intellectual disabilities, emotional and behavioral challenges, and other neurological differences.

Our approach is highly collaborative and student-centered. Teachers, therapists, behavior specialists, administrators, and families work together to create meaningful opportunities for students to learn, communicate, grow, and become as independent as possible.
