Our center is a place where children will have fun, be valued, and treated with respect and dignity. We assess what children enjoy and use those items or activities to teach and motivate a child to work through a task that is difficult to learn. We focus on the prerequisites to education and the necessary skills children need to function as independently as possible in their natural environment with minimal to no lifetime supports. When assessment reveals that a child displays developmental delays we write an individualized treatment plan, teach them skills that they are lacking in a systematic way, monitor their progress through data collection, and provide multiple opportunities to practice those skills. Support is provided as the child generalizes skills into the natural environment and reaches independence. If a child displays behaviors that impede their learning or interfere with life within the family, we assess why they are engaging in those behaviors and teach replacement skills so that children can be successful in all environments. At the Journey Center, we first teach the learner a functional way to communicate. Communication is key to learning and is a primary focus so that a child can interact with family and friends in a meaningful way. Once this is established, we teach social skills, daily living skills, and academics.

After a hard-working summer and jumping right into the first week of the new school year, our Journey Center team deserved an evening to relax, connect, and enjoy some baseball! ⚾️

Yesterday was an opportunity to step away from our busy schedules, socialize, catch up with staff members we may not get to see every day, and simply enjoy being together as a team.

We are incredibly grateful for the dedication our staff continues to show to our clients, families, and one another. Days like today remind us that while the work we do is important, so are the relationships and memories we build along the way. 💙

Here’s to a great summer behind us, an exciting school year ahead, and plenty more memories together! ⚾️✨

🔥 Outlearn. Outgrow. Outshine. 🔥

This year’s Survivor-themed All-Staff Meeting & Training Day brought the entire Journey Center team together for a day filled with learning, connection, celebration, and a little friendly competition! 🏝️🔥

Throughout the day, our staff participated in trainings designed to strengthen their knowledge, build new skills, and continue growing as professionals. Just like Survivor, the work we do requires teamwork, adaptability, perseverance, and a willingness to keep learning, and we are incredibly proud of the team that continues to show up for one another and for the clients and families we serve. 💚

One of the most meaningful parts of the day was taking time to celebrate our staff and recognize their years of service with the Journey Center. Every year represents countless moments of showing up, building relationships, overcoming challenges, celebrating progress, and making a difference in the lives of others.

To every member of our Journey Center tribe, whether this is your first year or one of many, thank you for the heart, dedication, and passion you bring to the Journey Center each day. You are what makes our team so special.

The tribe has spoken… and we think we have a pretty incredible one. 😉🔥🏝️
