What eLuma does

eLuma is a private, PE-backed K-12 student services company headquartered in Lehi, Utah, founded in 2011 (originally as Virtual Solutions for Therapy, rebranded to eLuma in 2017). The company connects U.S. K-12 school districts with a national network of credentialed, school-based licensed clinicians delivering speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, school psychology, special education instruction, behavioral and mental health counseling, universal behavioral/social-emotional screening, and customized professional development. Services are delivered via virtual, hybrid, or on-site models across all 50 states, with a clinician network spanning 36+ states. eLuma reports 500+ district partnerships, 400,000+ cumulative therapy hours delivered to 50,000+ students, a 92% district satisfaction rate, and a 97% fill rate on district staffing requests.\n\nIts underlying technology is a cloud-based, FERPA-compliant platform (the proprietary Insight™ SaaS application launched in 2022) that centralizes scheduling, attendance, progress monitoring, session notes, documentation, custom notifications, digital signing, and MTSS-aligned data reporting, supplemented by Virtual Backpack™, a content library of 30,000+ interactive therapy materials. The platform embeds workflows for 40+ assessments through partnerships with publishers including Pearson, Riverside Insights, ProEd, and WPS. eLuma integrates assessment delivery, screening configuration, and intervention mapping into a single environment that supports both IEP-related services and Tier 1–3 MTSS implementation.\n\nCommercially, eLuma sells to K-12 districts through a direct enterprise/inside-sales motion anchored on free consultations. Pricing is structured as multi-year, custom district partnership agreements (managed services), not per-session billing, with additional unit-priced revenue from professional development and screening engagements. Funding sources for districts include IDEA, Title I/II/III, ESSA, state programs, and private grants, and eLuma supports Medicaid billing for school-based services. The company is a portfolio company of Leeds Equity Partners following a 2021 acquisition, with Andy Myers serving as CEO (appointed April 2024) and founder Jeremy Glauser serving as Board Chair.

Direct peers

• PresenceLearning: PresenceLearning is a direct competitor providing live, online special education and mental health services (speech, OT, counseling, evaluations) to K-12 districts — the closest one-to-one comparable to eLuma's core SLP/OT/psychology offering.
