Kanga Adds New Scheduling Capabilities

Presence has released an update to Kanga, its comprehensive therapy platform designed for clinicians who serve children in schools and other settings.

The update is designed to "make it easier for clinicians to see and manage their workload" and includes new scheduling capabilities to help "clinicians ensure they are delivering the required amount of service minutes to a student at the specific interval and frequency spelled out in their IEP."

Some of the new scheduling features include automatic synchronization between the clinician's calendar and the student's profile; support for recurring events, including editing; and various views of events and appointments, including daily, weekly, monthly, and list view.

“At Presence, we support clinicians in providing meaningful therapy experiences,” said Kate Eberle Walker, CEO of Presence. “Our innovative tools are designed to streamline therapy planning and documentation so that clinicians can focus on the work they love, spending time face to face with the children who need them.”

Further details about Kanga, including information about a free version of the platform for individuals, can be found on the Presence website.
