From the field.

Voices from the educators we work with.

Tesse has opened up possibilities of digitising processes within the DAC that we haven't been able to imagine. Everyday essentials like visual making and data tracking are now so much more accessible and less effortful, it cuts the time I spend on social stories by around 75%. It has revolutionised our idea of the kind of efficiency AI can provide, and yet be made accessible at the same time.

Frequently asked questions.

Short answers to what teams ask before getting started.

Tesse generates a social story from your short prompt, based on your organization's guidelines, profile information, and illustration style you select. You can edit the story, finetune the images, and print or share when ready. The same workflow powers visual schedules, communication boards, and behavior tracking forms, all tied to the same learner profile.
Yes. Each learner has a single profile that the care team works from - teachers, therapists, parents, and adult care staff get role-based access to the same goals, social stories, visual schedules, and data forms. You can also publish any resource as a QR code link that opens straight to the content.
Tesse covers social stories, visual schedules, behavior data, communication boards, and learner profiles in one workspace, while Boardmaker is built around symbol libraries and communication boards. The biggest practical difference is licensing: Tesse generates symbols on demand in a consistent visual style — personalised to the learner or situation when you want — and everything you create is yours to keep with no per-symbol fees. If your team already licenses PCS, SymbolStix, or another set, you can bring those images in and use them alongside.
Special education software is any tool that helps educators, therapists, and care teams create personalised resources and track progress for learners with additional needs. That includes social story generators, visual schedule makers, behavior data collection apps, and communication boards. Tesse combines those into one workspace built around each learner's profile.
Yes — Tesse is built for special-needs individuals of all ages, not just children. Adult day programs, group homes, and supported-living teams use it for visual schedules, communication boards, social stories, and behavior tracking. Language throughout the product stays age-neutral by default.
Tesse is designed for educators handling sensitive learner data. Profiles, photos, and notes are scoped to the care team you grant access to, and stored on encrypted infrastructure. Our AI subprocessors operate under data processing agreements with zero-data-retention policies and contractual commitments not to train on your content. See our Privacy Policy for the full detail.
