At Diverse Pathways, our Support Workers are more than just helpers — they’re trusted mentors, role models, and champions for neurodivergent individuals and their families.
Here’s what sets them apart — and why families love our approach:
🧠 Neurodiversity-Affirming & Respectful
Our Support Workers understand autism, ADHD, and other neurodivergent profiles. They’re trained in neuroaffirming and trauma-informed practices, so every child or young person is met with compassion, patience, and respect — just as they are.
🌿 A Truly Unique Setting: The Neurodiversity HUB.
Unlike busy parks or unfamiliar public spaces, our support sessions often take place at our custom-designed 15-acre Neurodiversity HUB in Mardi — a sensory wonderland created with autistic and neurodiverse individuals in mind.Enjoy:
🐐 A working farm with animals to care for
🏡 A calm and welcoming homestead
⚽ A spacious sports field for movement and play
🎨 Purpose-built areas for arts, gardening, and sensory exploration
🛝 A safe playground with space to move, swing, and unwind
🌸 Beautiful, quiet gardens for relaxation and connection
It’s the perfect space for 1:1 sessions, group programs, or sibling support — a familiar and calming alternative to noisy community outings. No need to hover at a local park or navigate crowded spaces. Here, your child has the freedom to explore, connect, and thrive in a safe environment that understands their needs.
