Coming Soon — Pilot 2026

The voice they don't have to say out loud

A simple, private check-in tool for SEND students who find it hard to speak up. Built by a SENDCo, for schools that listen.

The Challenge

Schools want to support every student. But the students who need support most are often the least likely to ask for it.

The Problem

Students with autism, ADHD, and anxiety often struggle to communicate how they feel verbally. Traditional check-ins rely on speaking up in class or filling in forms. Many students mask their difficulties until crisis point. Staff only find out something is wrong when it's already escalated.

The Solution

Send Signals gives students a private, instant way to share how each lesson went: green, amber, or red. No typing. No speaking. Just three taps in under 10 seconds. Staff see patterns in real time and can intervene early, before small struggles become big problems.

Built Different

Every design decision starts with the student. Especially the ones who find things hardest.

3 Taps, 10 Seconds

A lesson check-in that's faster than unlocking a phone. Designed to never feel like a burden.

🔒

Completely Private

Students only ever see their own data. Database-level security means no student can access another's information.

🎨

Identical Every Time

The interface never changes layout or position. Autistic students rely on predictability. We protect it.

💬

Pre-set Messages

No blank text boxes. Every student input is a tap, not a type. Choose from messages designed with students.
