Problem
Schools lack clear, consistent ways to identify learning needs, understand what may be driving them, and plan effective support for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Traditional assessment processes are often time-consuming, inconsistent, and fail to provide actionable insights across whole cohorts, delaying early intervention and support.
Solution
Talamo provides a digital SEND assessment platform that brings screening, individual insight, and cohort-level data together in one place. The platform enables schools to screen entire classes using standardized digital tasks across dyslexia, maths difficulties, and executive functioning, generating instant insights for every learner. Talamo produces holistic reports for SENCos, teachers, and parents, along with cohort reports that reveal trends across year groups. The platform combines trusted assessment design with automated scoring and accessible reporting, helping schools move from identification to action with confidence.
Target Audience
Primary customers are UK schools, including SENCos, teachers, and trust leaders, as well as multi-academy trusts and local authorities seeking scalable SEND screening solutions. The platform also serves parents who want to screen their children at home and receive personalized reports with clear next steps.
