Kai XR Special Education Pilot

Kai XR is launching a new Special Education Pilot (grades 5 & 6) to learn how we can best support students with IEPs—and we’d love for you to join.

Educators continue to share that Kai XR’s multi-sensory, literacy-rooted lessons in STEM and career-connected learning make a real difference for students with IEPs—boosting confidence, focus, and comprehension.

We’re now inviting 10 teachers to join our SPED pilot and help us deepen that impact so we can better support students, no matter how they learn.

Teachers, to participate, please submit the enrollment form by October 8, 2025.
