The partnership between Fuel Education and PresenceLearning delivers a live, online special education solution that provides schools and districts expanded access to a nationwide network of highly qualified speech language pathologists, occupational therapists, special education teachers, and mental health/behavioral health professionals. These services are available as part of an integrated solution in which schools and districts can enroll students through PEAK, Fuel Education’s Personalized Learning Platform. Students also gain access to their live therapy sessions through PEAK.
“Schools are increasingly using a distributed workforce to enhance offerings to students,” said Tom Vander Ark, CEO of Getting Smart. “This partnership connects students to “anytime anywhere” therapy services from live professionals to which they may not otherwise have access.”
Using a full suite of online tools and evidence-based therapeutic activities, PresenceLearning teachers and therapists work directly with students via web-based videoconferencing. PresenceLearning is the only online special education services provider fully aligned with HIPAA and FERPA regulations that can operate at large scale, delivering thousands of sessions every day. Recent research funded by the Department of Education shows that the PresenceLearning solution yields equal or better outcomes compared to national norms for traditional speech therapy.

“As diagnoses continue to rise for disorders such as autism and ADHD, there is a growing need for more highly individualized and effective services for these students. By partnering with Fuel Education, PresenceLearning expands schools’ access to high quality live services for all children,” said Clay Whitehead, Co-CEO for PresenceLearning.
Gregg Levin, general manager for Fuel Education, added, “PresenceLearning and Fuel Education both focus on using technology-enabled education to better serve students on an individual, personalized level. Now, through this partnership, we can extend the power of online learning to provide our school and district partners a new, innovative way to meet the needs of special education students. ”
