At Parallel Learning, we believe that virtual services aren't a last resort or a temporary gap fill. They're a path to making a lasting impact and to improve outcomes in your district. Our turnkey approach means that we serve students together with your district, not in isolation, because when we unite our expertise, students thrive. Imagine a partner who shares every one of your goals. At Parallel, we are focused on strong connections, accelerated student success, and data-driven outcomes.
When kids don't have access to the evaluations or the services that they need, they lose out.
Our provider community, which contains top-tier licensed and credentialed speech-language pathologists, school psychologists, special educators, and social workers, is supported by clinical leadership, mentors, and customer success teams and integrates with your programs to give students the best care and support possible. Parallel covers a wide range of IEP needs, including specially designed instruction, assessments, speech-language pathology services, and behavioral and mental health services. We deliver exceptional service and reliability that helps keep parents happy, reduces due process complaints, and minimizes compensatory service costs. Pathway, our proprietary platform, enables rigorous clinical oversight through AI-powered progress tracking, streamlined report writing, and an interactive therapy environment.
Our Pathway program is definitely interactive for our students. They're able to touch the screen, they're able to manipulate the activities. It's not just a student watching a therapist conduct the session. Our students are actively engaged throughout the entire session.
I'm able to see what students know immediately. When I teach them, I have them show me what they know, and if I need to reteach them right then, I can, which in a large classroom setting, it's a lot more difficult to get that immediate feedback.
Pathway helps parallel providers facilitate evidence-based, legally compliant evaluations, drive student progress, and streamline collaboration. It also incorporates Our platform incorporates curated curricula and gold standard tests from leading publishers like Riverside and Pearson to elevate session quality and drive real measurable student growth. Our outcomes prove it. 98% of students working with Parallel providers met or exceeded their IEP targets, with over 70% making faster than expected progress.
So we collect the data, we collect the outcomes, So that we can make sure we are on track with their IEP goals.
That's real students making real progress with the help of real educators, all supported by the latest technology.
I love all of my students at HFM BOCES, and having the ability of sharing them with Parallel is absolutely amazing because they are sharing the same passion with me.
This isn't just a service. While staffing agencies assign providers and step back, Parallel carefully matches each provider while offering support and oversight year-round, so you're never managing quality alone. And since we focus on select markets, our deep district partnerships let us ensure compliance and deliver the hands-on support that moves the needle.
I love my students. I think that they are just a joy to work with, and then I'm also reaching the population that I love. The at-risk kids, and I'm really able to make a difference.
Parallel builds its network through a highly selective recruiting process, then continues to invest in our providers with the mentorship and professional development they need to lead. Every student deserves the best. We're here to help you deliver on that promise. Parallel Learning, supported by technology, Driven by care. Visit our website or call us to learn more.
