The Sensory Pathway Center is proud to announce the opening of its first location in Dayton, New Jersey. Founded by Manisha Lad, the Sensory Pathway Center is a groundbreaking nonprofit facility dedicated to supporting Neurodiverse individuals. This initiative was inspired by Lad’s own personal journey of navigating life with an autistic child. As a respected individual and thought leader in the neurodiversity community, Lad has worked with reputable individuals such as Dr. Temple Grandin and Deepak Chopra and recently held a Neurodiversity Symposium to help and empower the neurodiversity community on a global scale.
Lad’s vision for the Sensory Pathway Center is made possible through the generous funding of the Akhil Autism Foundation (AAF), a New Jersey-based nonprofit organization committed to educating, supporting, and researching neurodiversity on a global scale.
The Sensory Pathway Center is an innovative space designed to provide a safe and engaging environment where neurodiverse individuals can explore, develop, and strengthen their sensory skills. With state-of-the-art equipment and compassionate experts, activities like their Sensory Gym offers endless opportunities for growth and fun. From swings and trampolines to tactile stations and interactive panels, the sensory gym is specifically tailored to cater to each individual’s sensory needs.
“We are thrilled to bring the Sensory Pathway Center to Dayton, New Jersey,” said Manisha Lad, the Founder of Sensory Pathway. “Our mission is to empower individuals with autism and provide them with the support they need to flourish. With our dedicated team and cutting-edge facility, we aim to redefine the future for the neurodiverse community”
The Sensory Pathway Center’s program dedicated to neurodiversity is designed to promote self-regulation and build essential life skills. Their comprehensive approach combines various therapeutic techniques to cater to the unique needs of each individual. By embracing the future of neurodiverse therapy, individuals and their families can expect exceptional outcomes in an environment designed specifically for them.
The Sensory Pathway Center is dedicated to providing a variety of unique, skill-building and empowering activities aimed at revolutionizing autism care. Services offered at the Sensory Pathway Center include:

Rapid Prompting Method (RPM): RPM is an educational technique used to assist individuals with communication and learning challenges, particularly those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or other developmental disabilities. Approximately, 40% of neurodiverse individuals are non-verbal.
Social Skills – Care For A Friend Program: The Social Skills Class, run by the experienced BCBA team of Gina Ferreiro and Dina Fata, provides a supportive environment where both verbal and non-verbal individuals can learn and practice social skills through various activities and interactions.
Horticulture – Neurodiverse Gardeners Program: 85% of neurodiverse individuals are unemployed. However, the Sensory Pathway Center aims to provide neurodiverse individuals with opportunities to develop skills for employment in the green industry. The Horticulture – Neurodiverse Gardeners Program offers numerous benefits, including improved well-being, stress reduction, and the release of muscle tension all while educating and empowering neurodiverse individuals in horticultural training and vocational support. Rutgers University has not only funded this program, but has also collaborated with the Sensory Pathway Center by teaming up with a master gardener from Rutgers to provide these services.
Along with many other unique programs.
The Sensory Pathway Center is committed to making a positive impact on the lives of individuals with autism and their families. It is their belief that every individual deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential, and their comprehensive and compassionate services aim to make that a reality.
