Pathways for Learning Products (PFLP) is an education company that has provided educational products, therapy, consultation, and professional development since 1998. We offer the patented, teacher-tested and approved Grotto Grip® and RediSpace® paper, and developed and consulted with MeadWestvaco to develop the Mead Writing Fundamentals line.
Our team has decades of experience working with school-aged students and school professionals as educational consultants, administrators, teachers, school psychologists, and occupational therapists. We have experienced and dealt with the constantly changing trends in education as we have worked hand-in-hand with teachers to develop interventions for thousands of individual students and strategies for hundreds of classrooms, fielded questions and concerns at conferences, and consulted with intervention teams.
Our efforts are guided by the following principles:
• Every child has the right to an equal education.
• Children learn best in multi-modal environments with varied options for expression.
• The identification and incorporation of non-academic indicators maximize academic achievement.
• Teachers are respected and valued and have the right to equal resources and support.
• Research and data need to be easily accessible, understandable and easy to use.
