Holistic SEND Support

SEND support
in your hands.

Strategies and information in the moment. Reports in seconds. Parents in the loop. One place, one picture of every child.

Why this matters

Every child deserves early support.

One SENCO. Thirty children per class. Observations scattered across notebooks, spreadsheets, and memory. The system isn't broken because people don't care — it's broken because the tools don't exist.

Product

The right support,
at the right moment.

A child is struggling. You need to know what's worked before, log what's happening now, and spot what's changing over time. Elsi puts all three within reach.

In the moment

What you know
matters.

You might know this child inside out. But the supply teacher on Friday won't. The TA covering your class next week won't. Your observation about what calms Jamie down during reading could be the thing that gets them through a difficult morning. Type or talk — Elsi knows their documents, observation history, and what's been tried.

Strategies

What works for this child.

Elsi suggests evidence-based strategies to try. When something clicks, teachers can save it — building a bespoke toolkit that's unique to each child. Not generic advice. Real things that actually worked.

Patterns

Patterns emerge
across staff & time.

Elsi spots things no single person could see. When three people independently notice the same trigger, that's a signal. Your observation might be the one that completes the picture. Evidence-linked insights, not guesswork.

Insight

Ethan has struggled after lunch every day this week. The calm corner helped twice, but transitions back to class remain difficult.

Reports

First drafts in
seconds, not hours.

EHCP annual reviews. IEP targets. Termly progress summaries. Elsi generates evidence-grounded first drafts from months of real observations — every claim traces to specific moments, every quote is real, every count is accurate. The SENCO reviews, edits, and exports.

Every claim traces to specific observations. Counts are pre-computed. Quotes are real. If there's no evidence for something, it simply isn't in the report.

One product, one data layer, ten different conversations.

Teaching Assistant
Teaching Assistant
You spend more time with these children than anyone.

What you notice matters — the small things, the patterns, the moments nobody else sees. Elsi gives those observations somewhere to go, connects them to the bigger picture, and makes sure the people making decisions about a child's support actually know what you know.

SENCO
SENCO
You're accountable for every child on your caseload.

Which means you're also the one chasing every professional, hunting every document, and assembling every report. Elsi doesn't replace your judgment — it stops you spending your week doing admin that shouldn't be yours to do. The observations come in. The evidence builds itself. You review, decide, and act.

Teacher

Ten seconds. That's all Elsi asks.

A voice note after a moment that mattered, logged, connected, and useful — not lost in a notebook or forgotten by Friday.

Visible on Monday morning.

The patterns you identify in a session need to be visible in the classroom. Your observations inform the next session. The work compounds instead of sitting in a PDF.

Parents

The story doesn't start over.

Every observation, every intervention, every piece of evidence — it travels with your child wherever they go. When the time comes to fight for the right support, it's already assembled.

The record that
follows the child.

Children move schools. Staff change. SENCOs leave. But the picture of a child — what works, what's been tried, what the evidence shows — shouldn't have to start again. Elsi builds a living record that travels with the child wherever they go.

A national
evidence base
for SEND
intervention.

Nobody knows what works. Not at scale. Not in real classrooms. The research exists in controlled conditions with twenty children. Policy gets made from Ofsted snapshots and LA self-reporting. Our mission is to change that.

Every observation logged, every strategy tried, every pattern that emerges — becomes part of something bigger. Across thousands of schools, that data starts answering questions the SEND system has never been able to answer.

Safety

Children's data and AI.
Here's exactly what happens.

No child's name, date of birth, or personal identifier ever reaches the AI model. Before any observation is processed, personally identifiable information is stripped out. The AI sees "Child A had a difficult transition after lunch" — never "Ethan Davies, DOB 14/03/2019." This isn't a setting you can toggle. It's how the system is built.
