Complete capability list
Everything StrideSPED™ does, in one place.
Nine capability groups covering hardware, the field app, family communication, analytics, and compliance. This is the full sheet, written plainly enough to hand to a director who has never used a data collection tool.
01
Dedicated enterprise scanner
Standard-issue classroom hardware built for life skills and behavioral units, not a consumer tablet in a rubber case.
5 capabilities in this group
Ruggedized construction
Zebra TC201 / TC2x Series handhelds, drop-tested on concrete, IP65 and IP67 rated, water-resistant and safe for chemical wipe-down in bio-clean and sensory classrooms.
Dedicated push-to-scan triggers
Ergonomic physical scan buttons let staff trigger a scan without looking at the screen or unlocking the device.
Subscription hardware, anti-BYOD
Dedicated district-assigned devices remove the union and privacy friction that comes with staff recording student data on personal phones. Included, maintained, and replaced under your subscription.
Android Enterprise kiosk mode
Devices are locked to the platform alone. No browsing, no unrelated apps, no distractions during a crisis.
All-day swappable battery
Ten to fourteen hours of operation per charge, covering full school days plus after-school extended programs.
02
Physical NFC and RFID architecture
Tap-based identification that reads as ordinary school equipment, never as surveillance.
4 capabilities in this group
Non-stigmatizing student smart tags
High-frequency NFC chips embedded in standard school IDs, breakaway lanyards, or discreet backpack fobs. They look like every other student's ID.
Room and station checkpoint tags
Heavy-duty adhesive NFC wall discs at de-escalation corners, sensory and motor rooms, speech and occupational therapy suites, individual workstations, and break areas.
One-tap contactless handoff
Tapping a student badge loads that student's active IEP and BIP profile on the handheld in under half a second.
Dual-mode barcode and QR compatibility
The built-in enterprise imager reads 1D and 2D barcodes and QR codes as instant failover when a tag is out of range or damaged.
03
Sub-three-second behavior logging
The field app for teachers and paraprofessionals. One-handed, high contrast, built for thumbs.
6 capabilities in this group
One-touch frequency tallies
Giant, color-coded plus and minus buttons for rapid counting of elopements, vocal outcries, physical aggression, and task refusals.
Active duration stopwatch
Single-tap start and stop timers measuring meltdown length, sensory break duration, or on-task academic focus.
Antecedent selector
Demand placed, peer conflict, transition, noise or sensory trigger, unstructured time, each a single chip.
Behavior form with intensity rating
Physical, verbal, property damage, or self-injury, scored on a one to five intensity scale.
Consequence and intervention capture
Redirection, verbal prompt, motor break, sensory tool, or physical escort, recorded as part of the same entry.
Interval and scatterplot prompts
Configurable haptic and visual alerts remind staff to record whole-interval, partial-interval, or momentary time sampling data on schedule.
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 in this group
Configurable day blocks
Split the day into the periods, subjects, or time ranges your classroom actually uses. Named by your team, not by us.
One-tap smiley rating
Green, yellow, or red for each block on the familiar scale, sized for a thumb and readable across a classroom.
Fast comments
Short notes by voice-to-text or reusable quick phrases, so a comment takes seconds instead of a paragraph of handwriting.
Positive-first day summary
Wins first, then the difficult blocks, then what the team tried. The same information, framed so families can use it.
Automatic end-of-day email home
Once staff close out the day, the chart goes to the guardian on file in a clean, mobile-readable layout, in the family's preferred language. A printable copy stays available for families who want paper.
Nothing sends unfinished
A chart only leaves the building after a staff member closes the day, so a half-completed sheet never reaches a parent.
Archived and charted
Every daily chart is stored and rolled into trend lines, turning a term of paper sheets into a graph you can bring to a meeting.
Logged parent communication
Each send is timestamped and recorded, which is itself documentation that the family was kept informed every single day.
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 in this group
1:1 paraprofessional check-in
Tap-in and tap-out verification that timestamps mandated one-on-one support minutes as they are delivered.
Intervention room timer
Tapping a sensory room tag logs arrival time, time spent, intervention type used, and exit time automatically.
Staff digital accountability
Every logged event is cryptographically bound to the staff member ID, the timestamp, and the device serial number.
06
Offline and resilient operation
Classrooms have dead zones. The tool cannot.
2 capabilities in this group
Zero-latency offline mode
Full logging in basements, sensory rooms, gymnasiums, and outdoor playgrounds with no Wi-Fi coverage at all.
Automated sync engine
Entries queue in encrypted local storage and sync to the cloud the moment a connection returns, with a clear on-screen sync badge.
07
Real-time behavioral analytics
The web dashboard for BCBAs, case managers, and administrators.
3 capabilities in this group
Trigger and setting heatmaps
Visual matrices cross-referencing time of day, day of week, staff present, and classroom setting to surface environmental triggers.
Trend and frequency graphs
Automated scatterplots and regression lines tracking behavior acceleration or deceleration across rolling 30, 60, and 90-day windows.
Multi-student classroom monitor
A live overview of active timers, high-frequency alerts, and staff allocation across the building.
08
Automated IEP and BIP compliance engine
The paperwork writes itself from data that already exists.
3 capabilities in this group
Goal mastery trajectory tracking
Trial data is plotted automatically against baseline metrics and mastery criteria such as 80 percent accuracy over four consecutive weeks.
One-click IEP progress reports
Clean, audit-proof, printable PDF summaries with data charts and staff notes, ready for the IEP team meeting.
State restraint and crisis formatter
Whenever a crisis intervention or physical hold is logged, the mandated state incident report is pre-populated, cutting liability and paperwork at the same time.
09
Security, compliance, and IT management
Built for the questions your district counsel and IT director will ask first.
4 capabilities in this group
FERPA and COPPA aligned architecture
AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, and strict role-based access control so a substitute never sees a full psychological history.
Multi-tenant district partitioning
Database-level isolation ensuring each school and district reaches only its own authorized rosters.
MDM and hardware fleet management
A live hardware status board with battery levels, last-sync timestamps, assigned classrooms, and device health for every unit in the building.
Audit-proof log integrity
Immutable timestamping that protects the district in due process hearings and disputes over delivered service minutes.
