“Help parents address learning challenges at home before they require special education services. Save $6,000-$15,000 per student in evaluation costs alone.”
The Special Education Cost Spiral Is Unsustainable
Every struggling student requires:
- Educational psychologist evaluation: $2,000-$4,000
- Neuropsychologist assessment: $3,000-$5,000
- Occupational therapy evaluation: $500-$1,500
- Speech-language evaluation: $500-$1,000
- Reading specialist assessment: $500-$1,500
- Ongoing IEP services: $10,000+ annually per student
Total cost per student: $6,000-$15,000 in evaluations, then $10,000-$15,000 per year in ongoing services.
And the referrals never stop coming.
Your MTSS team is overwhelmed. Your special education budget consumes an ever-larger portion of district spending. Your evaluators have 3-6 month backlogs. Meanwhile, children who could benefit from early intervention wait for help—and fall further behind.
There’s a better way.
What If Parents Could Address Challenges Before Referral?
The Missing Link: Parent-Implemented Early Intervention
Here’s what changes when parents have access to professional-grade assessment and evidence-based training:
Before Special Ed Referral:
- Parent notices child struggling but doesn’t know why or how to help
- Tries generic tutoring—doesn’t work because it doesn’t address root causes
- Teacher recommends evaluation
- Your MTSS team adds child to 3-6 month waitlist
- District spends $6K-$15K evaluating across multiple specialists
- Child receives IEP requiring $10K+ annually
- Problem could have been addressed 8-12 months earlier
With Learning Success Assessment:
- Parent completes comprehensive AI assessment (45 minutes)
- Receives personalized roadmap identifying root causes
- Implements evidence-based interventions at home immediately
- Child shows measurable progress in 8-12 weeks
- 40-60% never require special education services
- Those who do need services arrive better prepared
- District saves $6K-$15K in evaluation costs per prevented referral

✓ Visual, Spatial & Motor Processing – Visual tracking, spatial reasoning, coordination, proprioception
Parents Receive:
- Complete learning profile with cross-domain pattern analysis
- Root cause identification (not just symptom description)
- Specific course recommendations with implementation timeline
- Daily routine structure for home interventions
- Progress monitoring guidance
- School advocacy language for collaborative communication
Analysis Powered By Latest Research From:
- Stanford University (growth mindset, mathematical reasoning, neuroplasticity)
- Harvard University (expectation effects, reading development, executive function)
- Yale University (reading neuroscience, dyslexia research, brain imaging)
- Leading neuroscience labs (Huberman Lab, Temple University reading studies)
The Cost Savings Are Dramatic
Scenario: 100 Struggling Students in Your District
Traditional Path (Current System):
- 60 students require comprehensive evaluations: $360,000-$900,000
- 50 students qualify for IEPs at $10K/year × 6 remaining years: $3,000,000
- Total district cost over 6 years: $3,360,000-$3,900,000
With Learning Success System:
- Parents complete assessments and implement interventions
- 25 students build skills at home, don’t require special ed services
- 35 students still need evaluations: $210,000-$525,000 (41% savings)
- 30 students qualify for IEPs: $1,800,000 (40% savings)
- Total district cost over 6 years: $2,010,000-$2,325,000
This Doesn’t Replace Your Process—It Strengthens It
Integration with Your Current MTSS:
Tier 1 (Universal Support):
- Make Learning Success Assessment available to families
- Parents access professional-grade evaluation before contacting school
- Children receive foundational support at home alongside classroom instruction
- Teachers see stronger learning foundations in students
Tier 2 (Targeted Interventions):
- Parents of struggling students complete comprehensive assessment
- Home interventions begin immediately—don’t wait for school-based services
- School and home strategies align and reinforce each other
- Progress monitoring shows combined home-school impact
- Many improve without advancing to Tier 3
Tier 3 (Intensive Support/Special Education):
- For students who need formal evaluation, parents arrive informed
- Comprehensive data already gathered through parent observation
- Meetings start from shared understanding, not from scratch
- Home supports continue alongside special education services
- Better outcomes through true home-school partnership
The Result:
- Tier 1 stronger because parents support learning foundations
- Tier 2 more effective through home-school alignment
- Tier 3 reserved for students who truly need intensive services
- Fewer students requiring Tier 3 intervention
- Better outcomes at every tier
FAQ
Q: How does an AI assessment compare to in-person specialist evaluations?
A: The assessment doesn’t replace specialists—it prevents unnecessary referrals by identifying children who can build skills through parent-implemented training. Parents provide thousands of observations across real-world contexts over time, which is often more diagnostic than a one-time test performance. Our AI analyzes these patterns using the latest research from Stanford, Harvard, and Yale. For the 40-60% of students who improve through home interventions, you’ve saved specialist time for students who truly need it.
Q: What if a child still needs special education services?
A: Some children absolutely need and deserve special education services. The assessment helps parents start appropriate interventions immediately rather than waiting 3-6 months for evaluation. When formal evaluation is needed, parents arrive as informed partners with comprehensive data already gathered, making your team’s job easier and meetings more productive.
Q: How quickly do families see results?
A: Most families see initial improvements in confidence and willingness within 2-4 weeks. Measurable skill improvements typically emerge within 6-8 weeks of consistent implementation. Brain imaging research shows structural changes from targeted training within 8-12 weeks. The key is consistency—15-20 minutes daily is more effective than occasional longer sessions.
Q: Will this work with our existing MTSS software and procedures?
A: Yes. The Learning Success System is complementary, not competitive. It doesn’t require changes to your MTSS process or software. Parents simply arrive more informed and with data to share, making your existing procedures more efficient. Think of it as pre-MTSS preparation that strengthens every tier of your system.
Q: What about students who don’t have parental support?
A: Some students need intensive school-based support because home support isn’t available. This system doesn’t eliminate that need. What it does is ensure that students with capable parents who just lack knowledge and tools can receive support at home, freeing up your limited school resources for students who truly need them.
