Divergent Trails

A Different Way Forward For Children and Families

At Divergent Trails, we believe that no child exists in isolation—and support shouldn’t either.

Families come to us because they are tired of fragmented services, rushed goals, and one-size-fits-all approaches that overlook the whole child. They are looking for something more thoughtful. More relational. More humane.

That’s where Divergent Trails begins.

Our Philosophy

Divergent Trails was founded on a simple but powerful belief:

Every child’s path is unique, and every family deserves support that honors that uniqueness.

We offer a fully integrated ecosystem of care that brings together relationship-centered ABA therapy, academic and educational support, homeschool partnership, and parent coaching—so families are no longer piecing together disconnected services on their own.

Our work is grounded in evidence-based practice, guided by neurodiversity-affirming values, and shaped by real-life experience with children, families, and systems that don’t always work the way they should.

The Heart Behind the Work

Divergent Trails was created by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst who has spent years walking alongside children and families—inside homes, schools, learning centers, and complex systems.

What became clear over time was this:

progress happens fastest when children feel safe, understood, and supported across environments—and when parents are treated as partners, not bystanders.

Rather than focusing on compliance or checklists, our work centers on connection, communication, emotional safety, and meaningful skill-building that actually translates into daily life.

What Makes Us Different

We are not a clinic built around volume.

We are not a program driven by insurance shortcuts.

We are not a model that separates therapy, learning, and home life.

Instead, we are:

✔️ Relationship-centered — Trust comes first. Learning follows.

✔️ Truly individualized — No templates. No cookie-cutter goals.

✔️ Integrated — Therapy, academics, and home life working together.

✔️ Collaborative — Parents are informed, empowered, and supported.

✔️ Intentional — We prioritize quality, depth, and ethical care.

Our Ecosystem Approach

Divergent Trails unites four interconnected pathways of support:

✔️ ABA Therapy- Relationship-centered, evidence-based support that honors neurodivergence and reduces overwhelm—at home and in daily life.

✔️ Academic Support- A learning-centered approach rooted in educational therapy principles, including NILD-informed strategies, executive function support, and individualized instruction.

✔️ Homeschool Partnership- Collaborative support for families navigating hybrid or homeschool learning—helping design routines, environments, and learning plans that truly fit the child.

✔️ Parent Coaching & Support- Guidance, education, and partnership for parents—because confident, supported caregivers change everything.

Each pathway stands strong on its own—and works even better together.
