Presence wins 2025 EdTech Digest Award, two Tech&Learning Awards of Excellence: Best of 2024, in addition to being named to GSV 150 and certified Great Place to Work®

NEW YORK, April 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Presence, a premier solution for PreK–12 remote special education-related and mental health evaluation and teletherapy services, has won a 2025 EdTech Digest Award. Presence's innovative teletherapy platform won the top prize in the special needs/assistive technology solution category, and CEO Kate Eberle Walker was named a finalist for a leadership award.

The EdTech Digest Awards, which recognize and celebrate the most exceptional innovators, leaders, and trendsetters in education technology, is the latest national awards program to honor Presence. Earlier this year, Presence won Tech & Learning Awards of Excellence: Best of 2024 in both the primary and secondary education categories.

Presence was also recently named to the 2025 GSV 150,  a list of the most transformational growth companies in digital learning in the world, and it was certified™ by Great Place to Work® for the fourth year in a row. The prestigious certification is based entirely on what current employees say about their experience working at Presence.

"Presence recently achieved an exciting milestone of delivering more than 7 million teletherapy sessions since its start," said Presence CEO Kate Eberle Walker. "Over that time, we've evolved our platform to meet the needs of the diverse schools, students, and families we serve. These awards reflect our commitment to continued growth and to excellence, and they set the tone for the remainder of the year–and beyond. We are honored and grateful to be recognized."

Since its founding in 2009, Presence has partnered with over 10,000 schools in 47 states, spanning rural, urban, and virtual settings. 

Presence's therapy platform is designed by clinicians, for clinicians, with the goal of enhancing human connection between a therapist and their student. Today more than 2,000 clinicians across multiple disciplines, including speech language pathologists, occupational therapists, school psychologists and mental health professionals, utilize Presence's online platform to support the full spectrum of their work—from case management to planning to therapy delivery to documentation. The platform has thousands of digital learning resources, games and activities, including materials from well-known therapy content publishers and a breadth of curated assessments from marquee test publishers.

By using Presence's network of clinicians to provide secure, efficient, and engaging online therapy solutions, schools have been able to reduce heavy caseloads and help more students reach their Individualized Education Program (IEP) and mental health goals.
