About Me

Hello, my name is Sarah. I started Action Pathways Ltd in response to a need for families to have support to access help and services for their child with learning and/or behaviour needs. There are so many professionals to deal with on the journey of discovering your child’s unique learning style and overcoming obstacles to access the help they need to reach their potential. With my experience and training to guide me, I offer an impartial service to assist families and empower them to have their best life with their child. I believe that every person is unique with a valuable contribution to make and that we all have strengths and weaknesses and deserve authentic opportunities to grow and thrive. I’m passionate about supporting children to flourish and grow as active learners and believe that relationships are critical to developing a person’s well-being and sense of belonging in the world.

I’m a mother, grandmother and sibling, whose brother has a disability.  Through my brother, I’ve been connected to the disability community since childhood.
