What makes Parallel unique?
Parallel addresses several key problems faced by its competitors in the field of providing services and care. The first challenge lies in maintaining consistency and quality across the board, which competitors struggle with. In response, Parallel implements standardized curricula, but with a personalized touch, using an evidence-based approach. This strategy leads to individualized care and better clinical outcomes.
Another obstacle faced by competitors is their lack of concern for the effectiveness of their results. In contrast, Parallel's comprehensive model places a strong emphasis on student outcomes, ensuring that their services yield positive and measurable impacts.
Furthermore, other competitors fail to provide sufficient resources and training to special education teams, leading to inefficiencies and subpar outcomes for students. In contrast, Parallel takes a proactive approach, offering comprehensive resources and training to school-based teams. By embedding themselves within these teams, they enable better outcomes for the students and increase overall efficiency for the schools.’
Their clinicians have extensive experience working with students in virtual settings and have performed thousands of online assessments. The providers use evidence-based practices and are licensed in the same state as their students.
Lastly, Parallel has successfully addressed the issue of cost and contract structures that hinder competitors. They offer a flexible contractual agreement without monthly minimums or student enrolment fees. This approach not only makes their services more accessible but also provides an attractive alternative for those dissatisfied with the traditional contractual models offered by competitors. Overall, Parallel's innovative solutions position them as a frontrunner in special education services.
