Check-out Spedster’s Newest Digital Products for Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, and Behavioral-Social Needs!
In 2024, Spedster launched three new digital learning solutions created specifically for the field of special education and those students engaged in the MTSS process. By partnering with one of the most prestigious, international organizations in disability research and development, Spedster has created three full solutions to address the needs of 90% of students with IEPs — Spedster Dyslexia, Spedster Dyscalculia, and Spedster Behavior and Well-Being. In addition, for those students experiencing difficulty in math and reading but not identified as having a learning disability, we are offering Spedster Literacy and Spedster Numeracy. Spedster COO, Steve Beseda, noted, "With so many products on the market today not meeting the needs of students with IEPs and being developed without any thought of students with IEPs, we felt strongly it was time for a heavily research-based and innovative approach to helping students with learning disabilities and social-behavioral challenges. We are extremely excited about this opportunity to truly help students in tremendous need of specially designed instruction in these key areas."

First-Rate SEL Curriculum Designed by Center for Responsive Schools
Fly Five is a K-8 social and emotional learning curriculum developed on the core belief that, in order for students to be academically, socially, and behaviorally successful in, out of, and beyond school, they need to learn a set of social and emotional competencies, namely cooperation, assertiveness, responsibility, empathy, and self-control (C.A.R.E.S.). The Fly Five lessons are intentionally designed to be easy to follow and implement so that teachers can place their attention on the important work of noticing a student’s academic, social, and emotional growth and progress and creating conditions for that progress to continue.
