We've had a significant decrease in behaviors and specifically referrals to the office.

We've had a significant decrease in behaviors and specifically referrals to the office for quarter three and quarter four. 

Some of it, I think, has to do with this access (to Alongside). Some of it has to do with our pushing in every once a month to give lessons to kids. I think both of those are really helpful. So just, you know, from when we first launched … there were a couple of players that were really skeptical, adults that were really hesitant about the use of AI and feeling like fraud or fake or you can't replace a person, which we never asked them to do.

But over time, just showing the data over and over and over, I think they can understand and see that it's helpful. And you know, I like the product so much, but to hear Leslie (school counselor) say “I actually have more time now and I'm not stuck in the weeds so much. I can actually help kids on a different level because they're getting help.” 

You know, through this app over the last couple of years she's seen that shift. So her speaking about it and then showing the numbers, I think is really helpful.
