Thoroughways was born from a deep belief that people with cognitive disabilities deserve more than just services — they deserve the chance to live lives filled with meaning, dignity, and self-determined purpose.
Our founders have spent decades walking alongside individuals and families facing some of life’s toughest challenges — including navigating complex systems, addressing severe behavioral needs, and overcoming barriers to independence. With extensive experience supporting people with maladaptive behaviors, we’ve learned that behavior is communication, and true progress comes when you take the time to listen, adapt, and partner.
After years of working within programs that felt fragmented and limited, we knew there had to be a better way. So, we created one. Thoroughways was built to offer a more holistic, person-centered approach — one that integrates clinical insight, lived experience, and meaningful connection. Our name reflects that spirit: helping people find a path forward, no matter how many times they’ve been told it’s not possible.
We’re here to walk that path with them — thoroughly and together.
At Thoroughways, our mission—and our name—reflects the belief that there is always a passable path forward. Thoroughways was founded by experienced professionals who recognized, after decades of working in the field of cognitive disability services, that the quality of long-term supports can either open doors or create unnecessary barriers for individuals and families. Too often, people with hopes and dreams were told "no" or led to believe that the life they wanted wasn’t possible.
Instead of accepting those limitations, Thoroughways was created to offer a different approach—one where innovation, collaboration, and respect guide everything we do. We believe people are doing the best they can with what they have—and that with the right tools, the right support, and the right opportunities, individuals can achieve even greater things.
