At Diverse Pathways, we believe neurodiversity-affirming approaches should be a foundation for practice, not an addition or optional extra.
As a collective, we have agreed that, wherever possible, our tools and resources will remain open access so that educators, practitioners and families can use them in everyday practice. We want this work to be accessible and to support meaningful change.
If you use our materials, we ask that you clearly reference Diverse Pathways and signpost people back to our work.
If you intend to use our materials within your own professional work, training or resources, including expanding, adapting or developing your own versions from them, please seek permission first by contacting us.
Please do not duplicate, reproduce or repackage our materials without permission.
Diverse Pathways is a passion project, developed through a significant amount of freely given time, thinking and labour from our collective. Keeping much of our work open access relies on people respecting its origins, acknowledging its lineage and helping others find their way back to the original work.
