For NDIS Providers & Allied Health Professionals
School Can't Pathways works with self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants. We specialise in educational re-engagement for young people with ASD, mental health diagnoses, and complex needs — and we make the referral and reporting process as simple as possible for you.
Who We Support
Young people (ages 12–18) who have disengaged from mainstream education due to:
- Anxiety disorders (including school-based anxiety and school refusal)
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (including PDA profile)
- ADHD and executive functioning challenges
- Trauma (including school-based trauma)
- Emotional dysregulation
- Chronic school refusal or minimal attendance (<50%)
How We Complement Your Work
We are designed to work alongside (not replace) therapeutic supports:
| Your Role | Our Role |
|---|---|
| Individual therapy (psychology, OT, speech) | Structured social participation and peer connection |
| Clinical assessment and diagnosis | Functional capacity assessment in learning context |
| Therapeutic intervention | Re-engagement and capacity building |
| Support coordination | Pathway planning and educational advocacy |
We work collaboratively through shared care planning (with consent).
