💬 “Some of the most valuable work we’re doing at Presence is helping schools truly understand what each student needs.”

Presence CEO, Kate Eberle Walker, shares how telepractice is transforming the way schools approach evaluations—whether it’s identifying learning support needs or opening doors to gifted and talented programs.

By leveraging technology, we’re expanding access to timely, high-quality evaluations that empower schools to act with confidence and care.

In this webinar, presented in partnership with ASU+GSV, we explore how teletherapy is creating more accessible, timely, and effecient evaluations meeting academic, behavioral, and mental health needs in a meaningful way.

What does AI look like in action in the classroom?

💡 We posed this question to a group of Women Leading Ed leaders — and their insights were eye-opening.

In the final episode of this month’s AI edition of Visionary Voices: The Bright Side, hear how leaders like Loren Hatfield (Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Schools for Wichita Public Schools in Kansas), Robyn Derington, Lily Laux (Former Deputy Commissioner of School Programs for the Texas Education Agency), Rebecca Lehtinen (Executive Director of Educational Technology Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools in North Carolina), and Jessica Garza (Director of Middle Schools of Denver Public Schools in Colorado) are thinking about the future of AI in education, and how we can harness it to support students and educators alike.

🎥 Don’t miss this powerful finale in the AI mini series.

✨ And stay tuned for next month’s Bright Side video theme—focused on bringing energy and fresh ideas to help educators engage students and kick off the new school year in the best way possible!

It may seem like the transition to telepractice needs nothing but a computer, camera, and an internet connection, but providing high-quality and secure services to your students and clients requires a more thoughtful approach.

🖥️ Essential Equipment and Software
A laptop or desktop with a we**am
Secure internet connection (Wi-Fi, ideally with VPN which offers a more private connection)
HIPAA-compliant videoconferencing solution that offers screen sharing and mouse-control for your client or student
Optional tech upgrades: noise-canceling headphones, document camera, desk lighting, standing desk

🎮 Interactive Content
-Digital therapy materials stored on your desktop or from your favorite websites or platforms
-Interactive games that allow the student or client to click and drag.
-An interactive whiteboard for typing and drawing on-screen
-A variety of digital assessments that can be shared seamlessly on-screen. You do not want to hold test stimuli up to the camera, nor do you want to read administration directions from the manual while you are testing.

🗂️ Administrative Process
-A HIPAA-compliant system for daily documentation
-Possibly a billing tool or integration for private practice or contracted work
-Time for learning new platforms or tools
-Professional development specific to teletherapy skills

Nothing compares to work besties! 🫶

At Presence, we believe strong relationships are the foundation of impactful work — especially in our remote-first world.

That’s why we create intentional moments to bring our team together in person throughout the year. These gatherings deepen our connections, spark fresh ideas, and accelerate the collaboration that drives our mission forward.

We're proud to be Great Place To Work Certified— and that’s all thanks to the passion, commitment, and heart of the incredible people we work alongside every day. 💙

We all know that using AI responsibly is essential—but that doesn’t mean we have to be afraid of it.

In the third episode of Visionary Voices: The Bright Side, Dr. Kimberley James, Superintendent of Willis ISD in Texas, shared her perspective:

“We can boldly accept AI and figure out how to make our lives easier and how to make our opportunities for our students more engaging.”

There’s a clear path forward—one rooted in intention, trust, and accountability—where AI becomes a tool to enhance learning, not replace it.

Let’s lean into the possibilities and reimagine what’s possible for students and educators alike.

Last week in Minneapolis, we hosted a special edition of Presence Together with all of our Customer Success and Sales team members. 🎉

For many, it was their first time meeting each other IRL, which meant lots of excited conversations, laughter, and a handful of practical jokes.

Being in the same room with so many passionate professionals was a great reminder of the amazing team we have built and how lucky we are to have each other as colleagues. No is complete without a few Presencetinis either! 🍸

We're taking a hiatus for the month of August, but we are looking forward to the next one in September!

Extended School Year (ESY) services are a powerful way to prevent skill regression and support continuity for students—but they can also bring unique challenges for clinicians and school teams.

From condensed timelines and documentation pressure to student engagement and staffing hurdles, it’s easy to feel stretched thin. But with the right strategies—like gathering parent input, leaning into fun, student-preferred activities, taking quick data at each session, and using flexible service delivery options—ESY can become less stressful and more impactful.

💡 Remember: ESY isn’t about huge leaps. It’s about maintaining progress, keeping kids connected, and showing up in ways that matter.

➡️ Swipe to learn quick ways to overcome the most common ESY challenges.
