of Parents
At Pathways, we believe in the power of parents. We understand that parents know their children best and believe that there is no better guide for their child’s development. Children who have special needs deserve the same loving, guiding relationship with their parents. And parents of children with Special needs deserve support and information needed to meet their child’s needs. All therapy offered through Pathways includes a strong parent training component.
The Masgutova Neuro-Sensory-Motor Reflex Integration (MNRI) Program works with the functions of the body-brain connections. It addresses the sub-conscious areas of brain that contribute to anxiety, focus and attention and sensory processing and primary reflexes. As a MNRI Core Specialist, Amy works with the child’s body to provide safe, reliable information to the brain. She trains parents to follow through with exercises that help develop and mature the nervous system.
The Relationship Development Intervention (RDI) Program is a parent-based program that works through relationships and experience to guide development of the mind. The RDI Program focusses on memory, communication and thinking that leads to dynamic development of the brain. As a Certified RDI Consultant, Anat counsels parents by providing education, problem solving and guidance parents are empowered to guide their child’s development.
Helping Families Overcome Unique Challenges of Neurological Disorders

We believe:
- The brain has tremendous ability to change and develop
- Relationships are vital to development
- Parents of children are the best possible guides to their child’s development
- It is more cost effective and therapeutic for parents to learn how to work with their child’s development than to pay for someone else to do it
- Training and application of excellent therapeutic approaches allow our families to make wonderful progress
- Families facing challenges because of neurological disorders deserve a team of well educated, dedicated professionals to educate, guide and support them
