Become a Research Partner with us!

At Pretzel Learning, LLC, we develop story-based speech and language materials designed to support school-based clinicians working with pediatric populations. Our work is grounded in the belief that high-quality, research-informed resources should be both clinically effective and immediately usable in real-world therapy settings.

We focus on three core initiatives:

The Freebie Revolution™ (Access & Equity Initiative)

The Freebie Revolution™ is our commitment to increasing access to high-quality speech and language materials.

Through our free membership platform, the Pretzel Bean Club, clinicians receive early access to full digital storybook bundles each month before they are released for sale. These bundles are designed to reduce preparation time while supporting mixed therapy groups across a variety of speech and language goals.

This initiative allows us to:

  • Support clinicians with ready-to-use, engaging materials

  • Increase accessibility to evidence-aligned resources

  • Gather real-world feedback to continuously refine our products

Research Collaboration (Partnership Initiative)

We actively partner with researchers to support the development and translation of research into engaging, narrative-based materials.

Our role in research collaboration includes:

  • Assisting with narrative development to align with research goals

  • Creating visual and illustrative components that enhance participant engagement

  • Supporting the design of materials that are both clinically meaningful and child-friendly

We position ourselves as research partners, helping bridge the gap between theoretical frameworks and practical application.

Research Dissemination (Translation & Impact Initiative)

We are committed to bringing research beyond academic settings and into the hands of clinicians, families, and students.

Through this initiative, we:

  • Translate research findings into storybooks and therapy materials

  • Distribute these materials through our platforms and marketplaces

  • Maintain collaborative integrity, ensuring researchers retain rights and are properly credited

Our goal is to extend the reach and real-world impact of research by embedding it into tools that are actively used in therapy sessions.

Our Focus

We specialize in materials designed for pediatric students under the care of school-based speech-language pathologists, with an emphasis on:

  • Mixed-group therapy support

  • Reduced clinician prep time

  • Engaging, story-driven learning experiences
