About Us
Developmental Pathways is a Colorado non-profit agency created to serve persons with developmental disabilities and their families. It was established in 1964 as a community-based alternative to institutional care. Since that time, Pathways has developed a broad array of services based on the principle that full inclusion and participation in community life is attainable for every individual with a developmental disability. Developmental Pathways serves citizens of Arapahoe and Douglas Counties, and the portion of Adams County within the City of Aurora city limits.

What is a Community Centered Board (CCB)?
In 1963, a Colorado statute authorized CCBs to be responsible for community services for children with delays in their development and developmental disabilities and adults with developmental disabilities. Currently there are 20 Community Centered Boards who serve approximately 11,000 individuals and families across the state. Contact the CCB designated to serve your county to learn more about Early Intervention, Family Support and Adult Services.
