SRP Air Table
- For the past 30 years, SRP has been manufacturing and distributing the
SRP Air Table designed to help teach physics, and all
of it's accessories.
- The SRP Air TAble is listed in the catalogues of all major distributors of
school equipment in North America, and is also ordered and shipped to many oversea countries.
- Designing and offering superior quality products to schools is a company policy.
PORTAQUIZ Consoles
- We also manufacture a high quality console for quiz activities in the classroom,
the PORTAQUIZ console.
- Since 1992, SRP provides the consoles required for the "Tournoi Jeunes Démocrates"
(Young Democrats Tournament) held each year at the beginning of April in the Educative
Mission Program of the Quebec National Assembly. This contribution was publicly
mentionned at the 10th anniversary of the tournament.
General Neurolinguistics
- Since 1996, under the names of "SRP Books" and
"Les Éditions SRP", SRP has endeavoured to republicize to parents
the past research that confirms the critical importance, for the optimal intellectual development
of children, of developing through stimulation in infancy all verbal abilities, and this,
before the age of 7, age at which comes to an end the bulk of the physical construction of the
synaptic network in the verbal areas of the brain.
- This major conclusion becomes obvious as an outcome of the analysis of the past research
in neurophysiology and general semantics. Since putting this research in proper perspective
can be done only in the particularly large and abstract frame of
General Neurolinguistics, SRP published a series of 6 books meant
to progressively clarify that frame for the interested reader, which will then allow him to
correctly evaluate the question.
Literacy from Infancy Program
- In relation with this determining conclusion SRP offers a tested method of reading tutoring
for children aged 2 to 6, that was developped by the renowned French pedagogue
jeanine Cougnenc, which can easily used at home for teaching French
as a second language. Presently, we recommend any method that allows children to learn to read
before entering primary school. The books we offer are described in our
Literacy from Infancy Program.

- Few people in the teaching community are aware that the SRP Air
Table for physics teaching was invented by a quebec teacher. Mr.
Eugène Michaud, who after 20 years of general services
in guiding youth completed his studies in technical engineering
at the RADIO COLLEGE of Toronto.
He then went to teach electricity
for 2 years at Don Bosco school. Afterwards, he was sent to open
the telecomunication department of the Port Alfred school. He
then spent 3 years at the Collège de Ste-Foy where he presently
developped the Air Cushion Table.
Followed 2 years of teaching
industrial drawing and machining at Don Bosco school and a final
10 years of teaching electro-technique at the Ecole Les Etchemins.
- The SRP Air Table is now widely used in all of North America.
- Your school may also own a quiz console. Again, always working
to further enhance teaching methods, he was the first 20 years
ago to build and promote portable quiz consoles for use directly
in the classes so this very motivating activity could be practiced
directly by the students just as they saw it done on television.
- Many of his former students certainly remember that their interest
for science and research has been awakened by this man.
- Now 82 years old (1996), he is still at work in Canada and also
in one of the poorest contries of the world: Haïti. He is
still active creating new products and processes such as water
filtration systems for remote locations, short wave communication
systems to link villages where not even telephone is available,
fluorescent lighting operating on standard 12 Vdc battery and
much more.
- I am proud to mention here the accomplishments of this man whose
contribution to education has never been publicly recognized.
- Many thanks to Eugène Michaud FEC.
