What you'll learn

  • How many sessions Parallel delivered in 2024-2025, and across how many states
  • The Social Vulnerability Index profile of the communities served, and why the housing and transportation figures are the most telling
  • What students reported about their relationship with their provider, broken out by service line
  • Reported progress toward IEP goals, including the discipline-level breakout
  • How each outcome measure was defined, so the figures can be judged rather than taken
  • What this data does and does not establish about virtual service delivery

What this paper covers

This is Parallel's annual outcomes report for the 2024-2025 school year. It is self-reported data about Parallel's own services rather than independent research, and it is worth reading as such.

It covers what was delivered and to whom: over 77,000 virtual special education sessions across 18 states, with 80% of communities served falling into the High or Very High Vulnerability categories on the Social Vulnerability Index, and 88% rating High or Very High on the housing and transportation measures specifically. That distribution is the report's most substantive finding, because it describes where virtual services are actually being used.

It also reports student-perceived outcomes, including a mean score of 8.90 on students' feeling about their provider across service lines, and progress toward IEP goals: 98% of students served were at or above target expectations by year end, with a behavioral and mental health breakout of 94.3% on target and 5.7% above.

Read the methodology alongside the figures. These are internal progress-monitoring data rather than a controlled study, and the report is the place to see how each measure was defined before quoting any number from it.

Who this paper's for

District leaders, directors of special services, and special education administrators evaluating virtual service providers.
