The Challenge

RAISE Act Dollars Need
Measurable Results

Alabama's RAISE Act provides $48.8M for special education, but most tools weren't designed for neurodivergent learners.

Accountability Requirements

RAISE Act funds must be spent on students who generate them, with documented progress toward IEP goals and transparent reporting.

Engagement Barriers

Traditional text-heavy platforms increase frustration, reduce engagement, and limit independence for students with ADHD, autism, and attention deficits.

Teacher Capacity

SPED teachers juggle intensive instruction, IEP documentation, progress monitoring, and differentiated support with limited planning time.
