For Education — Educators, Schools, IEP Teams

Think of it like a flashlight, not a spotlight.

A spotlight announces. A flashlight illuminates, quietly, for the person holding it.

Brooks Band gives the student a private haptic cue — a gentle vibration they can feel and no one else can. It lights the way for them, in their moment, without redirecting the whole room toward them.

For students who struggle with volume regulation, the Brooks Band is the difference between being corrected and being supported.

Built for every corner of the school building

General Education Teachers

Support students who dysregulate in whole-group lessons without pulling them aside
Reduce reliance on public verbal redirection that disrupts learning and dignity
Free up your attention for teaching, not voice-level management
Works across elementary, middle, and high school settings

Special Education & IEP Teams

Data that supports IEP goals around self-regulation and social communication
Objective event-level measurements (frequency, duration, intensity)
Supports annual IEP review with non-anecdotal, time-stamped data
FERPA-aligned: all student data remains under school control

504 Plan Coordinators

A discreet accommodation that doesn’t single students out
Supports self-awareness without disclosing diagnosis to peers
Generates usable progress data for 504 plan reviews
Student-controlled — can be worn or removed at any time

District Administrators

Scales across classrooms without requiring additional staff
Data Processing Agreement available for district-wide deployments
COPPA 2025 compliant; no audio recording, no biometric identifiers stored
Pilot programs welcome — evaluate in-context before committing

How it actually works in a classroom

1. The student wears it. The Brooks Band looks like a watch. It does one thing: delivers a gentle vibration only the wearer can feel when their voice volume rises above their personalized baseline.

2. No audio leaves the device. Voice signals are processed on-device and discarded. Only derived measurements (decibel levels, timestamps, durations) are ever saved.

3. Authorized staff can review patterns. Educators and IEP team members with proper access can view observation reports — not recordings, not transcripts. Just patterns: when, how long, how often.

4. The student builds self-awareness. Over time, the haptic cue becomes internalized. Many wearers report noticing their own volume before the cue arrives.

Compliance posture for schools

FERPA

Schools retain full control of student records. Sensory Bridges acts as a school official under a Data Processing Agreement.

COPPA 2025

Compliant with the amended 16 CFR Part 312 (effective June 23, 2025). Verifiable parental consent, school-authorized exception in educational settings, and parental opt-out at any time.

IDEA

Aligns with confidentiality requirements at 34 CFR §§ 300.610–300.626 for IEP, 504, and special education contexts.

General Wellness Positioning

Brooks Band is a general wellness wearable, not a medical device. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition. Educational decisions remain with qualified licensed professionals.

Section 508 / ADA

WCAG 2.2 Level AA alignment. Compatible with major assistive technologies. Accessibility is built in, not bolted on.

Student-Controlled

The student can remove the device at any time. Authorized adults (school administrators or parents) can disable data streams or deactivate entirely.

A quiet cue, for the student who needs one.
