Parallel Learning is solving that problem with a teletherapy platform that partners with school districts to create individualized plans for each student. Parallel’s providers work with a school’s special education program (SPED) to develop a Individualized Education Program (IEP), a legal document in the United States that outlines the personalized education plan for a student with special needs. Then when the pandemic hit and schools began struggling to serve their students, Heldfond knew it was time to bring her idea to fruition. One of the main problems Parallel addresses is the shortage of behavioral and special education providers that work with children. The company partners with K-12 public school districts, reaching out to special education directors, superintendents and others.
