What HelpKidzLearn does

HelpKidzLearn is a SaaS-based accessible online learning platform serving children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), operated by UK-based Inclusive Technology Limited from Delph, Oldham. The platform comprises six core web products (Sensory Space, Games & Activities with 300 activities, Inclusive Stories, ChooseIt Maker, ChooseIt Readymades with 660+ curriculum activities, and Insight for eye gaze assessment) plus iPad apps (60+ Bitesize Apps, Educational Apps, and iPad App Bundles) distributed through the Apple App Store. Its core technical differentiator is universal multi-access-method support — every activity works via touch screens, one or two switches, eye gaze technology, mouse, and keyboard — with per-student access settings stored in Student Profiles that span products. The platform is hosted on Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services with all student data stored in the United Kingdom, and is built around a no-PII architecture that is independently certified by iKeepSafe for COPPA, FERPA, and CSPC, and listed in the SDPC Resource Registry as 'Approved for use / No Data Collected' across multiple US states.

The business operates on a primarily subscription-based revenue model with User/Profile, Site, and Local Authority/District licence tiers on annual billing cycles (auto-renewing in 12-month increments), supplemented by one-time iPad app purchases, hardware/assistive technology resale, and professional services such as data audits and security assessments. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; quotations are required and free trials (no payment details) are available to both families and schools. Go-to-market blends product-led growth (free trials, self-serve Hub signup), sales-assisted enterprise motions (dedicated Contact Sales team, purchase order and invoice support, W-9 forms for US districts), and channel distribution through parent company Inclusive Technology's assistive hardware reseller network. The company reports 6,500+ schools and districts as customers across 52 countries, 325,000+ students using the platform, and 130,000+ teachers — a customer base that is globally distributed across US public-school districts, Canadian school boards, and UK establishments, with no single anchor account apparent in the named-logo set.
