Meet The People Behind Pathways
Jennifer Brown, MSc
Founder & Director
Hi, I'm Jennifer. I founded The Pathways Centre because I wanted families and neurodivergent adults to have easier access to trusted answers for the questions that matter most.
After years working in education and research, I realised there was a gap between what research tells us and the support people can actually access.
The Pathways Centre exists to help everyone find thier pathways forward.
