Chattanooga Pathways Learning Collective
A holistic, community-based learning experience for neurodivergent students and their families
What We Are
Chattanooga Pathways Learning Collective grew from my desire to create something different — a space where neurodivergent learners could thrive through curiosity, movement, and meaningful connection.
We provide hands-on, functional learning that focuses on life skills, executive functioning, and independence, rather than standardized testing or rigid curricula. Our sessions blend therapeutic supports, student-led exploration, and community-based instruction so every learner can grow in confidence and capability.
What We Offer
Small-Group Sessions: 1–2 days a week for elementary, middle, high-school, and transition-age students.
Community-Based Instruction: Real-world experiences around Chattanooga—shopping, navigation, volunteering, and outdoor learning.
Functional Academics: Reading, writing, and math applied to everyday life.
Life & Social Skills: Communication, teamwork, and emotional regulation.
Parent Partnership: Collaboration with families to align goals, supports, and progress.

Our Philosophy
At Chattanooga Pathways Learning Collective, we believe every student deserves learning that fits them, not the system. We nurture curiosity, resilience, and independence by focusing on functional skills, community connection, and student-led discovery.
