The Guided Path- with Brendan Jamieson
Welcome to The Guided Path – support for parents navigating school refusal (or school can't), and complex behaviours in neurodiverse young people.
If your child can't go to school due to autism, ADHD, PDA, anxiety, trauma or emotional distress, you're not alone. This channel offers practical, compassionate guidance from someone who truly understands both schools and families.
I'm Brendan – a Behaviour Support Practitioner, experienced school Guidance Officer, and parent. With 20 years of experience working alongside students with complex needs, I help families create calm, confident pathways back to learning.
Here you'll find videos on:
-School refusal vs school distress
-Behaviour support strategies
-Emotional regulation tools
-How to advocate at school
