"This app is teaching them how to self advocate...and reduce the amount of time that they're coming out of class."
Dr. Violet Martin, Director of Special Services in Gloucester Township, describes how Alongside keeps kids in the classroom...
"II really feel strongly that, this app is teaching them how to self advocate, how to take care of self, which is important. And also, you know, reduce the amount of time that they're coming out of class. This could potentially keep students in the classroom if they're able to log on, get their needs met, and then get back to business. Because they're losing educational time when they come out of class, sit, wait, etcetera."
