The Pathway School is a unique institution known for its multi-sensory approach to instruction, utilizing a combination of clinical, behavioral and educational specialists to meet individual learning and behavior needs. Pathway provides a comprehensive program of services for children between the ages of 9 and 21 for whom mainstream public and private school education is insufficient to meet their needs. These youngsters display severe neuropsychiatric disorders and complex learning issues necessitating focused learning environments. A nonprofit, approved private school founded in 1961, Pathway was the first school in the Philadelphia area designed exclusively for the learning disabled child and the first in the nation to unify the disciplines of psychology, psychiatry, medicine, social work, and education.
