If you are a parent of a child with special educational needs, you already know how hard this is. The waits are long, the language is complex, the letters go unanswered and the professionals who should be helping you often have no idea what you have already been through. Lumio Pathways exists to change that.
Families wait over two years on average for a community paediatric assessment. Many wait far longer with no support in the interim.
Most first-time EHCP requests are refused. Families who know their rights and use the right language are significantly more likely to succeed.
Many children wait until school age or beyond for a diagnosis. Early identification changes outcomes. Every month matters.
Approximately one in five children in England has some form of special educational need. Most families navigate the process entirely alone.
A clinically validated assessment from concern to action in four steps. Takes under 15 minutes. No appointment. No referral. No waiting room.
Answer 12 clinically validated questions about your child at home, in your own time, in your own language.
A full strengths and needs profile across five developmental domains. Clear, readable and yours to keep.
A GP referral letter and an EHCP assessment request letter generated from your child’s profile and ready to send the same day.
The journey does not end at the letter. Lumio Pathways guides you through every stage that follows.
Too many platforms stop at the letter. Lumio Pathways does not. Getting a referral letter or an EHCP request is one step in a journey that can last years. We built every part of that journey into the platform, because families need more than a document. They need a companion.
From the moment you complete the assessment to the day your child’s provision is in place and working, Lumio Pathways is with you. We help you understand what to expect, what to say when the system pushes back and how to make sure your child gets what they are entitled to.
Our clinically validated 12-question assessment identifies strengths and support needs across five developmental domains. Parent-led, home-based and clinically robust. Age-appropriate from 18 months to 12 years.
GP referral letters and EHCP assessment requests generated automatically from your child’s profile. Clinically informed language. Statutory references accurate. Professional enough to be taken seriously from the first read.
When the GP hedges, when the local authority refuses, when the school says they are not seeing what you see at home, Lumio Pathways gives you the knowledge, the language and the confidence to push back effectively and within your rights.
Intelligent analysis of your child’s EHCP identifies gaps between the needs identified in Section B and the provision set out in Sections E and F. Know exactly what to challenge and how to challenge it before the annual review.
Shared weekly clinical targets across home, school and speech and language therapy. One platform, one picture of your child, everyone aligned. No more information lost between settings. No more starting from scratch at every meeting.
Annual review preparation. EHCP meeting guidance. Appeal process support. Lumio Pathways helps you prepare for every formal meeting and understand every document before you sign it.
Stage 1 launches with the core identification and navigation tools. Stage 2 brings EHCP gap analysis and full coordination. Stage 3 opens to schools, clinicians and NHS commissioners.
12 questions across five developmental domains. Developed under the oversight of a clinical governance board including consultant neurodevelopmental paediatricians and a registered speech and language therapist. Age-appropriate from 18 months to 12 years.

A moderated community of SEND families navigating the same journey. Share experiences, ask questions and find support from families who understand. Professionally moderated to maintain safety and quality.
A moderated peer community where SEND parents share experiences, ask questions and find support from people who have been exactly where they are now. No judgement. No jargon. Just people who understand.
Lumio Pathways is built to serve communities for whom language, faith and cultural context shape how they experience the SEND system. Our content and community reflect the families we serve, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
English, Urdu, Punjabi and Polish. Because the families who wait the longest for support are often the ones for whom language is the biggest barrier to accessing it.
Our community is professionally moderated to ensure safety, accuracy and a space where families feel genuinely supported rather than overwhelmed by misinformation.
School said my child was a pleasure to have in class. Every evening at home told a completely different story. I had no words for what I was seeing. I had no idea where to start. And I had no one around me who had been through this before. That is the gap Lumio Pathways fills.
Parent, Greater ManchesterYou have been observing something in your child’s development that concerns you, but you do not know where to start or what words to use to describe it.
Your GP, your health visitor or your child’s school has told you to wait and see. Your instincts are telling you something different.
You have tried to get help and been turned away, referred elsewhere or told there is nothing to be concerned about. You know that is not true.
Your child has a diagnosis but the EHCP process has stalled, the provision is inadequate or the school is not implementing what the plan says.
You are navigating a complex statutory system in a language that is not your own, without a professional to translate not just the words but the process.
You have been fighting for years. You are tired. You need a platform that does the heavy lifting so you can focus on your child.
The Lumio Pathways assessment instrument was developed under the oversight of a registered clinical governance board including consultant neurodevelopmental paediatricians and a registered speech and language therapist. Every question, every scoring model and every letter template has been validated by qualified clinicians.
Our questionnaire content is developed in alignment with NICE guidelines NG142 covering autism in children under 5 years and NG207 covering autism in children and young people, alongside RCSLT clinical frameworks for speech and language.
Lumio Pathways is not a diagnostic tool and does not provide clinical diagnoses. It is a clinically informed identification and navigation platform designed to help families access professional assessment sooner and navigate the statutory process more effectively.
Lumio Pathways is ICO registered and built in full compliance with UK GDPR and the UK Children’s Code. Your family’s data belongs to you. We will never share it with third parties for commercial purposes.

A haven of light for the journey.
Lumio Pathways Ltd is a Manchester-based health technology company incorporated in June 2026. We exist because the families who need support the most are often the ones waiting the longest to receive it.
Our platform is clinically validated, parent-led and built around the real experience of navigating a SEND system that was not designed with diverse, multilingual, under-resourced families in mind. We are building something different.
We are currently in active development and building towards our Stage 1 launch. Every family who joins the waitlist helps shape what we build next.
“A haven of light
for the journey.”
