We are an Australian company developing innovative, research-based technology. We began our journey with a vision of using technology to to better support the educational outcomes, engagement and wellbeing of children throughout their learning journey.
Recent statistics suggest that between 25% and 40% of school students in Australia have additional educational needs, translating to 1.6 million students.

In the beginning our focus was on how to find a better way to assist the estimated 1-in-3 students (or up to 1.6 million Australian school students) whose learning journey is being negatively impacted by a range of diverse learning needs and challenges. We recognise that each individual has a unique way of learning and understood the challenges parents and teachers face when trying to access accurate data or assessments for early identification and support, especially in regional or remote areas, and within Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, and non-English speaking communities.
Our initial focus has been on researching and developing innovative technology that provides a more equitable approach for teachers and parents to identify and support children who may be impacted by common learning disorders, disabilities, or neurodiversities. Our aim was to create a solution that would be affordable, scalable, and accessible to all teachers, students, and families regardless of location or background.
As well as software developers, our pioneering approach to learning differences was developed and endorsed by some of Australia’s leading researchers and psycho-educational experts in the relevant areas, including experts in psychology, giftedness, twice-exceptionality, specific learning disorders, autism, ADHD, and more. Together we we able to bring to light our vision for a more equitable future for all learners. The products developed from this innovative research and technology will not only help close the educational gap, it will provide all teachers and educational professionals with the essential insights they need to address the every day challenges faced by millions of children each day in the classroom, potentially reshaping their educational experiences and allowing them to achieve their true potential.
EdScreening's research and development has created a proprietary software is now used to support a number pioneering support tools available to schools, and beyond.
Our first products empowered teachers in classroom to easily identify diverse learning needs and provide tailored, expert guidance to support these students in their learning journey based on their own unique learning needs. By integrating cutting-edge technology with the latest research and expert opinion, our software has allowed the development of has been able to equip educators with the insights they need to better assist learners impacted by a range of diverse learning needs provides new hope for countless children, their teachers and their families throughout the world. But this is only the first step.
EdScreening’s pioneering approach to identifying common exceptionalities, disorders and disabilities that impact learning The resulting software is pioneering tool that empowers many other professionals to easily identify and understand diverse needs and provide tailored, expert guidance to better support these unique individuals. By integrating cutting-edge technology with the latest research and expert opinion, our solution equips educators with the insights they need to better assist unique learners.
With the assistance of leading educators, psycho-educational researchers and other experts, EdScreening has developed an innovative software solution that provides an equitable and accessible education support system for all students, and the teachers who support them.
For the first time, EdScreening software makes it possible to provide universal access to the benefits of expert educational research and tailored support for all students including students in regional and remote areas, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, and other traditionally educationally disadvantaged groups.
