Join WaitlistThe Brooks Band Platform
For Educators & Therapists
Real-time self-regulation data formatted for IEP progress monitoring, 504 accommodation tracking, and intervention documentation — measurable outcomes your team can act on.
For Families
A discreet, non-judgmental tool that supports your child's self-awareness and builds confidence — replacing verbal correction with personal agency.
For Schools & Districts
Designed to integrate with the documentation systems your teams already use — built from the ground up for IDEA, FERPA, and COPPA compliance and the realities of special education operations.
The Opportunity
The Brooks Band creates a new product category at the intersection of assistive technology, ambient behavioral assessment, and education compliance. Device sales paired with a subscription-based companion dashboard for schools and therapy practices. Educators and therapists are the primary distribution channel — they recommend, schools and districts purchase.
Open Ecosystem
The Brooks Band generates continuous, structured behavioral data — timestamped, anonymized, and formatted for education compliance workflows. We're inviting strategic partners to explore how their tools can connect to our data output layer.
If you build IEP management software, therapeutic curriculum, behavioral analytics, school communication platforms, or assistive technology hardware, there may be a fit. We're exploring integration partnerships where your product consumes Brooks Band data to deliver better outcomes for the professionals and families you already serve.

Questions
The Brooks Band monitors the user's voice volume in real time. When volume exceeds a personalized threshold, the wristband delivers a discreet vibrotactile cue — private, non-visual, and undetectable to peers. No audio is recorded. All data is timestamped and formatted for IEP progress reporting and intervention tracking through the companion dashboard.
No. The Brooks Band is classified as a general wellness device and does not make diagnostic or therapeutic claims. It is not an FDA-regulated medical device. This classification supports broad deployment in school and home settings without clinical licensure requirements.
The Brooks Band is the first wearable platform designed specifically for self-regulation data in educational settings. Our patented approach was built from the ground up with input from occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, special educators, and families — not adapted from consumer fitness technology.
The Brooks Band was designed for neurodivergent children — primarily those with autism, ADHD, sensory processing differences, and related conditions — who experience challenges with voice volume regulation. Up to 70% of individuals with autism experience atypical prosody affecting voice volume. The device serves the child directly while generating the documentation educators and therapists need.
Yes. The platform produces data formatted for IEP progress monitoring, 504 accommodation documentation, BIP evaluations, and MTSS/RTI tiered intervention tracking. We built it with compliance-readiness as a core requirement, not an afterthought. Designed from day one to meet FERPA, COPPA, and student data privacy requirements.
A non-provisional patent application was filed in March 2026 covering the core voice-monitoring architecture. All intellectual property is owned outright by Sensory Bridges, Inc.
Founding pilot partners receive devices, onboarding support, and pre-built IEP goal templates at no cost. We provide a FERPA-compliant data use agreement and a school-ready dashboard for tracking student progress. No IT infrastructure changes are required. Pilot partners receive priority access to the commercial release and are credited as founding partners.
Sensory Bridges was founded by Megan Cales, an entrepreneur based in Chattanooga, TN, with deep roots in career development, special education ecosystems, and the IEP documentation process. The product was built in response to a real child's real need. The team includes advisory partnerships with occupational therapists, a patent attorney, a hardware R&D partner, and a university engineering collaborator.
