You're not alone in feeling overwhelmed
If you're a parent of a child with SEND, you've probably experienced the frustration of trying to understand confusing letters from the council, worrying whether your child is getting the right support, or simply not knowing where to turn at 11pm when questions keep you awake.
If you're a teacher or SENCO, you're likely working well beyond your contracted hours. Research shows that two-thirds of SENCOs say their workload is unmanageable most or all of the time, with many working an additional nine hours per week on top of their allocated SENCO time.

"AI for my child? I'm not sure about this..."
We hear you. The idea of AI in education - especially for children with SEND - can feel overwhelming, even unsettling. You want support, not another thing to worry about.
Here's what SpektraBot actually does: it's a knowledgeable assistant, not a replacement for the professionals you trust.
Think of it as having access to someone who's read every SEND Code of Practice, every guidance document, every support strategy. Available when you need it, at 2am or during a difficult moment at school.
But SpektraBot knows its limits. If your question needs a real educational psychologist, SENCO, or medical professional, it will tell you that clearly.
Your conversations are private, encrypted, and fully GDPR compliant. We follow UK safeguarding law to the letter.
SpektraBot doesn't make decisions about your child - you do. It just gives you the information and support to make those decisions with more confidence and less exhaustion.
