The Parallel Platform has a provider view and a student view, so the provider can see all the instructions they need to give, monitor the student, And note the answers.
Excellent. Fantastic.
And in the student view, students don't see the provider's prompts or themselves, so they are not distracted. They only see what they need to see. There are also interactive features like a whiteboard.
I'm going to draw a face. Click on the paintbrush, and I want you to draw the mouth based on how you're feeling. Oh, good. A happy face. I like it. What does that mean?
I'm not feeling happy nor sad.
It looks like this.
Oh, here it goes.
Oh, that's how happy you are? It's just this giant smile that's off your entire face.
Schools or families can log into the portal and see upcoming and past appointments, including group sessions. Trained on-site facilitators are there to help at each school, and for security, every student has a unique login and receives a unique link for each appointment. Providers can set up their availability to schedule appointments and sync Google or other calendars with the Parallel platform. Providers manage session notes with easy-to-use templates based on session type and share completed notes or documents with students or schools directly. They can also create and assign tasks to other providers and K-12 associates working with their clients.

It was really nice to meet you and really nice to work with you.
