Pathfinder Village graduates eight in training program

STAFF REPORT • Special to www.AllOTSEGO.com

Eight staff members of Pathfinder Village graduated from training programs on Friday, July 1 from the new Direct Support Professional 3.0 Training Program.

Brittany Bond, Rose Davis and Christina Gregory were among the eight who graduated.

“This program teaches that you need to look at all aspects of a care situation, put yourself in the shoes of the person you are working with,” Amanda Piech, graduate from the program, said in a press release. “You need to understand what they may be feeling but are not able to tell you.”

Piech has been with Pathfinder for 15 years.

Pathfinder Village is an open access community for people living with disabilities and down syndrome in order to help them live an independent lifestyle.
