The Neurodevelopmental Disorders (ND) Pathway
For learners requiring support with routes to formal diagnosis of ASD and/or ADHD, we collaborate with the local health board’s ND pathway to ensure timely identification, intervention, and access to external specialist services when needed. The pathway provides a clear framework for understanding and addressing the needs of neurodivergent children and young people, offering guidance on appropriate assessment and support.
We also maintain strong partnerships with local authorities, educational psychologists, and healthcare professionals to ensure holistic support for neurodivergent learners.
The ND pathway is a health-based assessment pathway that accepts referrals from schools. The referral process is very complex and the current waiting times are lengthy. If you require further information, please contact Mr Robert Williams (Assistant Headteacher /ALNCo) for an appointment to discuss this in more detail.
