Where the line sits

PAES Practice game versions are for practice and exposure. They build vocabulary, sequencing, and decision-making before students touch the real materials. The PAES Lab assessment with the physical kit and teacher-led observation remains a separate product. The validated, peer-reviewed instrument needs real materials and direct supervision — and that's the moat. See the line in detail →

How it works

Three steps from sign-up to confident.

1

Sign up & pick a unit

30 seconds, no kit, no install. Pick Cash Register or Point of Sale. The student starts the moment they're ready.

2

Practice the real task

Built on the PAES job library. Every scenario is a real workplace situation, scored on accuracy and time, with audio cues and accessibility built in.

3

Track progress & earn certificates

Streaks, accuracy, time-to-complete. Students see growth session-on-session. Completion certificates ready to print or share.

Where PAES Practice fits

A practice and engagement layer. Not a replacement for the assessment.

PAES Practice exists for the classrooms, programs, and home contexts that can't justify the full PAES Lab today. The full validated assessment instrument lives in the Lab. Here's the line.

In plain terms: if you need defensible, IEP-grade transition assessment, you need the Lab. If you want students engaging with workplace skills daily on the device they already have, Practice is for you.

FAQ

Common questions.

Is this the same as the PAES Lab assessment?
No. PAES Practice is a digital practice and engagement product. The full PAES Lab is a validated, peer-reviewed assessment instrument with a physical kit, teacher-led observation, and IEP-grade reporting. Practice is for daily skills exposure. The Lab is for defensible assessment. They complement each other.
What devices does it work on?
Any modern tablet, Chromebook, laptop, or desktop with a web browser. Optimised for tablet but works everywhere. No app to install.
Who is this designed for?
Special education classrooms, alternative education, vocational rehabilitation, supported internship colleges, juvenile justice settings, community college transition programs, charter schools, and any setting that wants PAES skills exposure but doesn't have the full Lab.
Can I upgrade to the full PAES Lab later?
Yes. PAES Practice is a great way to validate fit before investing in the physical Lab. Most Practice subscribers who choose to upgrade can credit a portion of their first-year Practice fee toward Lab purchase.
How is student data handled?
Privacy-first by design. Students log in with a first name or alias only. Real names never leave the school. PAES Practice does not transmit student data to third parties. FERPA-compliant district reporting is a Lab feature, not a Practice feature.
What's on the roadmap after Computer Skills?
Functional Math practice (Q4 2026). Spanish-language editions (early 2027). Parent home edition (TBD). The roadmap follows what subscribers tell us they need.
