About

Why we built SpektraBot

Navigating the SEND system shouldn't feel like a second job. We saw families staying up late decoding jargon, teachers drowning in paperwork, and too many people struggling alone.

SpektraBot exists to make SEND guidance calm, clear, and available whenever you need it — so you can focus on what matters most: your child.

What SpektraBot does

One place for SEND guidance, preparation, and support — designed around the way families and professionals actually work.

Plain-English SEND guidance

Ask a question in your own words and get a clear, jargon-free answer about rights, processes, and next steps.

Grounded in the law

Responses draw on the Children and Families Act 2014, the SEND Code of Practice, and established case law.

Local authority awareness

SpektraBot understands your council’s Local Offer, services, and contact points so guidance is relevant to where you live.

Battle Binder

Organise key points, actions, and evidence into a personal folder you can take into meetings, annual reviews, and tribunals.

Available when you need it

Day or night, no waiting lists, no appointments. Get support at the moment you need it most.

Built for everyone involved

Tailored support whether you’re a parent, carer, SENCO, teacher, or SEND advocate.

Our commitments to you

Co-designed with parents, teachers, and SEND specialists.
