The Styer-Fitzgerald Program for Functional Academics Takes to the Cloud


NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- On Wednesday, at The Urban Collaborative's Fall 2016 Meeting, Specially Designed Education Services (SDES) announced it's taking its flagship Styer-Fitzgerald Program for Functional Academics to the UnitusTI cloud.  SDES is partnering with Mundo Pato, Inc. to take full advantage of its UnitusTI cloud publishing tools and curriculum server given its flexibility, scalability and tailored approach to learning.  As with the Styer-Fitzgerald Program, UnitusTI was developed by professional educators and therapists and has demonstrated results in helping children with special needs, including autism, achieve more. 

SDES creates a rich and easy-to-use environment for maximizing each student's potential by providing classrooms individualized assessments and a system for tracking rate of mastery. In moving the Styer-Fitzgerald individual learning programs for both elementary and secondary curriculum to the UnitusTI cloud, all of this can now be achieved in real time with the touch of a button, generating much-needed reports for easy decision making and accountability.
