About Diverse Paths

Diverse Paths provides practical, personalised support around learning, SEND and neurodiversity. We work with individuals, families and organisations, adapting our expertise to the needs of the people and settings we support.

For individuals

Tuition, coaching and mentoring for children, young people and adults who need additional support with learning, education, work or everyday life.

For families

Practical, whole-family support around behaviour, relationships, education and accessing appropriate services and community support.

For organisations

SEND training and consultancy for schools, businesses, charities and other service providers, including training and course development, individual support, accessibility, project and service development, and content and resource review.

Our approach

Our areas of expertise include:

• Autism and PDA
• ADHD
• Dyslexia and other learning differences
• Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA)
• SEND and inclusive education
• Neurodiversity and accessibility
• Trauma-informed and relationship-based approaches
• Gender diversity and LGBTQIA+ inclusion

Our approach is grounded in understanding the individual and the context around them. We look at strengths as well as barriers, and work collaboratively to identify practical approaches that make learning, participation and everyday life more accessible.

Whether we are working with an individual, a family or an organisation, our aim is the same: to understand what people need, reduce barriers, and help create the conditions in which people can learn, participate and thrive.
