To support schools with the resources so every child can succeed in the classroom and beyond.
One-fifth of US students struggle with some kind of thinking or learning difference, like dyslexia or dyspraxia - but classrooms are rarely fit to accommodate the special provisions required. Waitlists for private treatment, tutoring, and therapy can be prohibitively long - and the cost prohibitively steep, too. So what’s the answer? For educational support company Parallel, it’s about democratizing and accelerating access for students in need.
Parallel’s platform centralizes providers, resources, and assessment options which can see learners diagnosed and accessing support in a matter of days. It’s this rapid turnaround time, in fact, which has no doubt helped Parallel net partnerships with school systems: schools are legally obliged to offer educational support, but are often too under-resourced and overworked to comfortably do so within the legal time frame.
As this very young company begins to expand its services across the United States at a surprising pace, it's clearly responding to a real market need. With funding in the bag, Parallel has made a strong start to address it.
