What an Access Pathway is
The Access Pathway is the route for children and young people (up to their 18th year), where support has already been accessed and tried, but further multi-disciplinary discussions may be required. This informs any extra intervention or specialist assessments needed, for example Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
This includes children and young people with needs across:
- speech
- language and communication
- social interaction
- learning difficulties
- sensory difficulties
- neurodevelopmental difficulties
You may also see social, emotional and mental health difficulties alongside these.
