Workforce intelligence for special education

Special education is a staffing crisis
disguised as a compliance problem.

PULSE builds the schedule, measures the workload, and tells you who's burning out — before you lose them.

Used by related service providers, special education teachers, and the leaders who support them

The problem

Districts spend millions on special education —
and still don't have the data to determine whether their providers are sustainable.

Districts spend millions on compliance systems that track whether IEPs were filed — but nothing that measures whether the people delivering those services are sustainable. The burnout happens in the gap between what's mandated and what's actually possible.

"Your OT is at 118% capacity. Your SLP has been above 100% for 11 consecutive weeks. Your BCBA just gave notice. Nobody saw it coming — because no system was measuring it."
The platform

Schedule. Workload. Workforce.

Three pillars. One platform. Built around the providers doing the work.

01 · Schedule

Direct and indirect. All of it, scheduled.

PULSE maps your full service picture — direct sessions, indirect time, travel, prep — and builds a complete schedule around it. Groups detected automatically. Conflicts flagged before they happen. Adjustments made by voice.

02 · Workload

Your real number.

Every provider's utilization score, built from their actual contract — not a national average. Direct minutes, indirect minutes, meetings, documentation. The complete picture. Updated in real time.

03 · Workforce

The number that matters.

Trends over time. Burnout prediction before it becomes a departure. The budget narrative that justifies the hire. The number that walks into the superintendent's office.

See it happen

Add a student. Watch the number move.

Every IEP service has a cost. PULSE shows you what adding one more student to a caseload actually does to a provider's sustainability — before you sign off on it.

This isn't a projection. It's the same calculation the AI uses to build every schedule and flag every burnout risk. Try it.

Voice Intelligence

Your scheduling assistant who actually knows your schedule.

Ollie is the AI voice assistant built into PULSE. He knows your caseload, your CBA, your bell schedule, and your availability. Ask him a question and he answers. Ask him to make a change and he does it.

No typing. No navigation. No rebuilding from scratch. Speak for 30 seconds and your schedule updates — or your progress note is written.

Works on any device today. Native iOS & Android app in development.

The two non-negotiables

Legal compliance and trust are not features.

They're the product. Everything else is built on top of them.

🔒
Non-negotiable · #1

Legal & regulatory compliance

FERPA-first architecture from the ground up. Free tier uses initials only — no full student names until a district data agreement is in place. Teams, School, and District tiers operate under documented DPAs. Every feature is reviewed against IDEA, FERPA, and applicable state regulations before it ships.

✓ FERPA Compliant ✓ Student Privacy Pledge ✓ SOC 2 in progress ✓ No data sold. Ever.

Non-negotiable · #2

Your data belongs to you.

Provider data is the provider's data. Your district can't see your workload score or your schedule unless you share it. You own the math. You decide who sees it. The moment providers stop trusting that, the whole thing breaks — so we built the architecture around protecting it.

Built by an SLP and a student services director who have been in the room when trust was broken. That's why this matters to us.

Built alongside the Inclusive Learning Library and the Trust Framework. The only workforce platform with a clinical philosophy underneath it.
