At Presence, we always strive to be and do better. We continuously innovate and improve our products to help clinicians, students, educators, and parents. Many of our ideas to change and grow come directly from you—our valued customers, our dedicated end users, and our thriving, inspiring Presence community. We listen to your insightful feedback, share it throughout the company, then get together to determine which ideas to focus on first.
Today, we are beyond excited to reveal our latest innovation with you: Kanga, a therapy platform designed for clinicians, by clinicians.
Kanga is an evolution of the Presence award-winning proprietary platform, previously known as Therapy Essentials. We adapted it to better serve the needs of clinicians who work in schools, private practices, staffing agencies, and higher education institutions. Our new platform and our new brand represent the direction we are headed and the value we’re placing on innovation and user experience. And we want you on this amazing journey with us, experiencing everything that is possible with Presence.
