Dedicated enterprise scanner
Standard-issue classroom hardware built for life skills and behavioral units, not a consumer tablet in a rubber case.
5 capabilities
Coming soon — pilot placements opening
The clipboard was never going to hold up in a hearing.
StrideSPED™ puts a rugged, school-owned handheld in a teacher's hand. Tap a student's badge, log the behavior in two taps, and the timestamp, staff ID, location, and duration attach themselves. The daily smiley chart emails home before dismissal, and the IEP progress report builds itself for the meeting.
- Works with no Wi-Fi
- Daily chart emailed home
- FERPA-aligned by design
The problem
Special education runs on the most fragile data system in the building.
Every hour spent transcribing tally marks is an hour not spent with a student, and none of it produces the evidence a district needs when someone asks for proof.
- Tally marks on a sticky note that never make it into the file
- An hour of after-school data entry that should have been planning time
- A behavior incident reconstructed from memory three hours later
- Handwritten smiley charts that never reach the parent
- Service minutes a district cannot prove it delivered
- A due process request no one has clean data to answer
How it works
Four steps, and three of them happen without anyone doing anything.
01
Tap the badge
A student tag or a room tag loads the right profile on the handheld in under half a second.
02
Log the event
A tally, a timer, or a full ABC entry, captured in two or three taps on oversized buttons.
03
The system does the clerical work
Staff ID, timestamp, location, duration, and device serial are attached automatically, online or off.
04
Reports go out on their own
The daily chart emails home at dismissal. Progress summaries, heatmaps, and audit records build themselves for the meeting.
Headline feature
The daily behavior chart, filled in by tap and emailed home by dismissal.
Green, yellow, and red for every block of the day, with a comment where it matters. The same chart families already understand, except it arrives every single day, in the family's language, and it never gets lost in a backpack.
- Color-coded ratings per time block, tapped in as the day happens
- A positive-first summary so the message home is never only bad news
- Automatic delivery at end of day, with the whole thing timestamped and logged
- A permanent communication record proving the guardian was informed

Jordan's day — Tuesday, October 14
Room 12 • Ms. Alvarez
Arrival / Morning meeting Green - great block
Greeted two peers on his own.
Reading Green - great block
Finished all three tasks with one prompt.
Math Yellow - some support needed
Needed a motor break after the transition.
Lunch / Recess Green - great block
Great day at the swings.
Specials Red - hard block
Loud assembly. Used the sensory room for 8 minutes.
Afternoon / Dismissal Yellow - some support needed
Tired but packed up independently.
Today's win
Jordan started a conversation with a classmate without a prompt. That is a first this month.
Everything in the platform
Nine capability areas, from the badge tap to the board report.
Each one is documented in detail on the features page. Nothing here is a placeholder for something we have not thought through.
02
Physical NFC and RFID architecture
Tap-based identification that reads as ordinary school equipment, never as surveillance.
4 capabilities
03
Sub-three-second behavior logging
The field app for teachers and paraprofessionals. One-handed, high contrast, built for thumbs.
6 capabilities
04
Daily behavior report card
The red, yellow, and green smiley chart families already know, filled in by tap and emailed home the same day.
8 capabilities
05
Service minute and location verification
Compliance proof generated as a by-product of doing the work, not reconstructed from memory at 6 p.m.
3 capabilities
06
Offline and resilient operation
Classrooms have dead zones. The tool cannot.
2 capabilities
07
Real-time behavioral analytics
The web dashboard for BCBAs, case managers, and administrators.
3 capabilities
08
Automated IEP and BIP compliance engine
The paperwork writes itself from data that already exists.
3 capabilities
09
Security, compliance, and IT management
Built for the questions your district counsel and IT director will ask first.
4 capabilities
For the clinical team
Patterns a paper data sheet will never show you.
Because every entry carries a time, a place, a staff member, and an antecedent, the analysis stops being a weekend project and starts being a screen you open.

Pattern surfaced: incidents concentrate at the noon transition, not during academics.
Goal mastery trajectory
Follows 3-step directions with fewer than 2 prompts
Weekly accuracy 80% mastery criterion
Why this and not a general classroom app
Six things that make the difference.
Point of contact, not end of day
Data is captured where and when the behavior happens. Nothing depends on a staff member reconstructing a difficult afternoon from memory hours later.
Purpose-built hardware
A rugged, school-owned handheld with a physical scan trigger. Not a consumer tablet, and never a teacher's personal phone.
Works with no Wi-Fi
Sensory rooms, basements, portables, playgrounds. Logging never stops because coverage did, and entries sync themselves later.
Service minute proof, not estimates
Every minute is bound to a staff ID, a timestamp, and a device serial number. That is the difference between a claim and evidence.
The daily chart writes itself
The smiley chart families already know is filled in by tap and emailed home before dismissal. No handwriting, no lost backpack.
Reports that survive a hearing
Immutable logs, state-formatted incident reports, and IEP progress summaries generated from the same data staff already entered once.
Who it's for
Four roles, one record.
Special education teachers and aides
Today: Paper clipboards, tally clickers, and data entry after the last bus leaves.
With StrideSPED™: Log incidents and track goals in two taps without taking your eyes off the student.
BCBAs and specialists
Today: Inconsistent, subjective, or simply missing paper data sheets.
With StrideSPED™: High-fidelity ABC data and trigger heatmaps generated automatically, in real time.
Special education directors
Today: Due process hearings, lost service minute audits, and compliance findings.
With StrideSPED™: Indisputable, timestamped verification of every mandated IEP service minute delivered.
School IT and operations
Today: Personal phone privacy conflicts and fragile tablets replaced every semester.
With StrideSPED™: Drop-proof enterprise handhelds locked into kiosk mode, with fleet health on one screen.
We are building this with the classrooms that will use it.
