Cogs AI has secured a £415k grant from Innovate UK to support its work on digital assessment tools for special educational needs and disabilities. The funding will aid the development of a 15-minute online test designed in collaboration with the University of Cambridge.
Current diagnostic pathways for special educational needs face significant backlogs and resource constraints. Cogs AI applies computerised adaptive testing technology via a digital interface to evaluate children across four key domains, aiming to reduce waiting times for families and schools.
From the founder
"There is a widening gap in provision for those children who have additional needs but aren’t being put forward for full SEND support, and those children who are spending months, if not years, on waiting lists"
Zareen Ali
Co-founder and CEO at Cogs AI
