For parents
Where do I start?
Most families reach us with one of these questions. Each one starts with a conversation, not a commitment.
- 01
“My child was just diagnosed — what now?”
Book a first consultation. We read the reports you already have, arrange any assessment that is still missing, and agree a plan with you before anything else is booked.

“My child's school asked for a shadow teacher”
We match a trained shadow teacher to your child and agree with the school how support will run in the classroom, so the teacher and the school know what to expect from day one.

“We just moved to Chiang Mai and need everything in English”
Consultations, reports and school coordination are available in English, Thai and Chinese. We can introduce schools that already have an MOU with us.

From the first message to the years ahead

Long-term pathway
Records are kept year to year, so the next step — a new school, homeschooling or a vocational route — is planned.
For schools
Your school can say yes
Many schools want to accept children with special needs but hesitate over staffing and know-how. A partnership MOU with BrightPath gives your classroom a trained shadow teacher and a multidisciplinary team behind them.

Annual membership
A team that knows your child, year after year
Families can join for a year at a time. Membership covers consultations, development tracking and guidance through the year. We keep your child's records over the long term, so if homeschooling or a vocational pathway becomes the right next step, the plan is built on years of notes rather than a single visit.
