About Presence

Presence delivers remote therapeutic services to PreK-12 schools in the U.S. and Canada, focusing on areas such as speech-language therapy, mental health counseling, behavioral services, psychoeducational assessments, and occupational therapy. The company utilizes a digital platform called Kanga, which allows clinicians to conduct live online therapy sessions and evaluations, making it easier for schools to provide ongoing care to students. Unlike many competitors, Presence partners with educational institutions to enhance their existing teams with remote clinicians, helping to manage caseloads and ensure that students receive necessary interventions. The goal of Presence is to improve access to therapeutic services in schools and support clinicians with flexible work opportunities.
