The demand for accurate, reliable student assessments is at an all-time high¹. Data suggests the number of students with disabilities between ages 3-21 could jump by about 1 million between 2021 and 2025 if current trends hold². If your special education team is understaffed and exhausted, buried under a mountain of referrals, you’re not alone.
Qualified providers are hard to find. And your processes can feel slow, unreliable, or even outdated. The result? Stressed-out staff, delayed support for students, and a nagging feeling that you could be doing so much more. You’re working harder, but are you getting ahead?
To overcome these challenges, districts must find new ways to make timely decisions about student needs.
Innovation is key.
Technology that impacts schools
The Woodcock-Johnson® V (WJ V™), published by Riverside Insights, is the first suite of assessments designed specifically for digital administration. It’s an advancement that’s bringing good news to districts struggling with assessment caseloads—a groundbreaking leap forward that offers access to reliable, accurate evaluations.
Working together to expand access
According to a recently conducted study, remote delivery of the WJ V produces high-quality, reliable results. Presence is proud to partner with Riverside Insights to expand access to high-quality evaluations that support student needs. As the only partner authorized for its remote administration, our provider network can help schools:

Benefit: Faster, timely comparisons of student performance
• Improve accuracy and data-driven insights with access to a comprehensive battery of tests and clusters—tools providers need to conduct valid, efficient, and reliable assessments.
Benefit: Accurate, reliable assessments that help schools meet student needs and compliance goals with confidence
Advanced tools with an experienced team
The nationwide shortage of qualified providers who administer psychoeducational assessments is a long-standing and growing problem for schools. The National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) recommends a ratio of 1 school psychologist for every 500 students. However, the national average is far from this goal³.
Districts are struggling and need solutions that fit.
Our network of licensed school psychologists, equipped with the new WJ V exclusively on our FERPA-compliant digital platform, can help schools serve more students—accurately, reliably, and quickly.
Presence is leading the way in remote psychoeducational assessments. As the first to bring evaluations online, we’ve helped thousands of schools expand access, drive efficiency, and improve outcomes for students. Today, we continue to set the standard with the largest network of trained providers and a purpose-built platform optimized to deliver high-quality remote assessments.
