The purpose of PathPoint Assistive Technology Services (ATS) is to explore and connect
individuals with disabilities with technology that enables them to achieve goals and live the lives
they choose. Technology is a tool that can be used to help individuals with disabilities control
environments, make choices, communicate needs, access resources, build relationships, and
achieve goals.
PathPoint Assistive Technology Services use a person-centered method alongside assistive
technology best practices. The ATS team works with individuals and their support networks to
achieve goals by conducting assessments, finding the right tools, and providing training in order
to incorporate assistive technology into daily life for successful outcomes. PathPoint ATS aims
to build inclusive, compassionate, and equitable communities where all individuals can have the
opportunities to thrive and live their dreams.

PathPoint supports people in living the life they choose. The agency partners with people with
disabilities, people with mental health diagnoses, and young adults to pursue their hopes and
dreams through building life skills, developing meaningful relationships, and strengthening
workplace abilities. Founded in 1964, PathPoint was originally established to provide job training
for low-income people. It has since expanded to support more than 2,500 individuals annually
throughout five counties in southern and central California—Kern, Los Angeles, San Luis
Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura. For people with developmental disabilities, the agency
specializes in residential, employment, and day services. www.PathPoint.org
