FERPA-baseline · For K-12 evaluators & school psychologists

Client assessment software built for the people giving the test.

Hand a client an iPad, proctor the session live from your own screen, and send parents a growth report they can actually read — without a district rollout or a single client login.

The workflow

Everything one specialist needs to run an assessment.

Write the items, hand over the iPad, watch the session, share the report. Four steps, one tool, no IT ticket.

iPad testing you proctor live

Hand the client a secure kiosk link or QR code — no client login. Follow their screen in real time, advance questions remotely, and log observation notes as they work.

FERPA baseline privacy

Row-level security on every client record, an immutable log of who viewed which report, mandatory staff two-factor authentication, and no client data ever sold.

  • Every record scoped to a role
  • Every report view logged
  • Two-factor required for staff
  • You stay the data owner

Your own test questions

Multiple choice, multi-select, and true/false items with images in the stem, the choices, or the explanation. Tag items with standards and reuse them.

Reports parents understand

Domain scores, growth over time, and suggested observations you can auto-draft, edit, and share by email or PDF.

IEP accommodations enforced

Extended time, larger text, high contrast, hidden timer, and read-aloud are set per client and applied automatically — plus daily IEP reminders.

Caseloads across schools

Travel between buildings? Create as many classes as you need, group them by school, and keep every client on one dashboard.

For your team

Start with your clients. Add everyone else later.

One evaluator can be up and testing today. When your school or district is ready, the same account grows with you — no migration, no second tool.

FAQ

Client assessment software questions, answered.

Is Better Answers FERPA compliant?+

Better Answers ships a FERPA baseline: row-level security on every client record, an immutable access log of who viewed which report, scoped role approval, mandatory staff two-factor authentication, and configurable session timeouts. Your school remains the data owner and we never sell client data.

Can a client take the test on an iPad while I proctor?+

Yes. You launch a session from your dashboard and hand the client a secure kiosk link or QR code on an iPad. The client never signs in. You follow along on your own screen, advance questions remotely, read the prompt aloud, and add observation notes as they work.

Can I use my own test questions?+

Yes. Author multiple choice, multi-select, and true/false items with images in the stem, the answer choices, or the explanation. Tag items with standards, then keep the test private to your caseload or publish it to a shared school or district bank.

Does it support IEP accommodations?+

Extended time, larger text, high-contrast mode, hidden timer, and read-aloud (text-to-speech) are set per client and enforced automatically during every proctored session. IEP milestone and goal-review reminders run daily and land in your dashboard and email digest.

How do parents see results?+

You invite a parent by email in one click. They get their own secure login showing only their child's results, growth over time, and areas to practice, with PDF export. You choose exactly which reports are shared and can revoke access at any time.

Do I need my district to buy it first?+

No. A single evaluator, school psychologist, or specialist can start with their own caseload, create classes across multiple schools they travel between, and add colleagues later.

Give your next assessment on Better Answers.

Create your account, add a client, and run a proctored iPad session today — your school or district can come along later.
