Problem
School districts face chronic shortages of licensed special education clinicians, leading to backlogs in therapy, evaluations, and mental‑health support, which hampers compliance with IEP requirements and limits student access to needed services.
Solution
Presence provides a cloud‑based teletherapy platform that connects schools with a nationwide network of state‑licensed speech‑language pathologists, occupational therapists, school psychologists, counselors, and social workers. Clinicians deliver individual and group therapy, behavioral interventions, and psychoeducational assessments remotely via a HIPAA/FERPA‑compliant video interface. The platform supplies integrated scheduling, documentation, progress‑tracking tools, and a curated library of interactive assessments and therapy activities, reducing administrative overhead for schools. By offering flexible, on‑demand staffing, Presence helps districts expand capacity, meet regulatory timelines, and maintain continuity of care for students in any location. Data from sessions are stored securely and presented in dashboards that give administrators insight into service utilization and student outcomes.
