Presence

Teletherapy platform connecting schools with clinicians

Overview

PresenceLearning provides teletherapy and software solutions for K-12 schools, focusing on special education and student mental health. Its proprietary platform delivers live online therapy, psychoeducational assessments, and mental health counseling by connecting school districts with a network of licensed clinicians via secure video sessions, and includes scheduling, documentation, and a library of therapeutic activities. The company differentiates itself with a large clinician network, a school-focused, remote-first delivery model, and ongoing growth through funding rounds and acquisitions such as Global Teletherapy. Its goal is to close the clinician shortage in schools and ensure consistent, high-quality services for students with IEPs.

Simplify's take

What believers are saying

  • May 2026 acquisition expands Kanga into compliance, collaboration, and student-progress tracking.
  • April 2026 Partner of the Year awards signal sticky district relationships and renewals.
  • Presence named exclusive remote provider for the new digital Woodcock-Johnson V assessment.

What critics are saying

  • California’s 2020 settlement still exposes Presence to compliance scrutiny and claim-substantiation demands.
  • School-district procurement delays can freeze growth until 2027 budget cycles.
  • If districts internalize services, Presence loses its core nationwide network advantage.

What makes Presence unique

  • Presence’s Kanga platform unifies IEP, RTI, and 504 workflows after Education Modified’s May 2026 acquisition.
  • It pairs 2,000-plus licensed clinicians with 60-plus assessments and 10,000 therapy resources.
  • Presence serves 10,000-plus schools nationwide, giving districts one vendor for service delivery.

Presence acquires Education Modified to unify special education workflows after 8M teletherapy sessions delivered

Presence, a provider of special education technology and teletherapy services, has acquired Education Modified, a digital platform for special education workflows. The acquisition will enable Presence to deliver a unified system for managing IEPs, interventions and student support services. Founded in 2018, Education Modified digitises special education workflows by connecting professionals, teachers and IT teams to track accommodations and document student progress. The platform will be integrated into Presence's Kanga system, which currently serves over 2,000 clinicians and has delivered more than 8 million remote sessions. A recent survey of nearly 800 school administrators found that over 80% would find a single integrated system highly valuable, citing fragmented systems and limited visibility as key challenges in managing special education.
