Meet Devin and Nick

Every school is different. Let's build on what's already working at yours.

We're two special education teachers. We come to your school, see how your days actually run, and build the tools around your systems: your point sheets, your levels, your IEP goals.

Who you'd be talking to

Still in the classroom.

34 years of special education between us, and we still teach every day. That's where the tools come from.

Devin Farren

Co-founder · special day class teacher

Sixteen years in special education, and a mentor teacher for new special educators. Devin tracked behavior on paper point sheets for years and walked into a lot of IEP meetings hoping the data would hold up. So he built DailyWins: teachers tap each goal once a period, and the charts and progress reports build themselves.

Nick Crabtree

Co-founder · special day class teacher

Nick teaches secondary self-contained special education for students with social and emotional needs. He builds the tools that keep a program running, like ParaScheduler for paraeducator schedules and TransitionReady for transition planning.

Custom tools for your site

Start from what works.

  • Paper point sheets your staff already knowDaily behavior charts and dated IEP progress reports
  • Your levels, PBIS expectations or ABA modelTracking that uses your own names and rules
  • A spreadsheet only one person understandsA behavior dashboard the whole team can read
  • Shelves of curriculum, binders and booksAn organized library your teachers can find things in

Sometimes the answer is our software, fitted to your program. Sometimes it's a tool that's all yours. We look at it with a special educator's eye either way.

How it works

Three steps, at your pace.

  1. A free 20-minute call

    Tell us how your program runs and what's eating your team's time.

  2. We see it in person

    We visit your school or meet online, and watch how a real day goes.

  3. We build it with you

    Your staff help shape it, so it fits the way they already work.

For teachers, too

Your whole classroom, set up on one Google Site.

Your schedule, your materials, your forms and trackers, in one place your students, families and aides can find. We build it in your own Google account, so it's yours, and student names stay off anything public.
