Ripa Elevate is an adaptive platform for middle school students, including those with different learning needs, that measures real ability, real-world skills, and independent thinking.
Assessment framework developed with Michelle Ripa, M.S., CCC-SLP, Licensed Speech-Language Pathologist
You have $20 for groceries. Milk is $3.50, bread is $2.75, eggs are $4.00. How much will you have left?
Understand what your child can do before the next IEP meeting. No school involvement required. Get a clear, plain-language report in one session.
Bring adaptive assessment into your classroom. IEP-aligned reports, teacher dashboard, and real skill profiles for every student you support.
Schools have spent decades measuring students against a narrow set of academic benchmarks: right or wrong, above or below grade level. For students who learn differently, this doesn't just miss the mark. It misses the student entirely.
Ripa Elevate was built to change that, by two people who watched it fail from inside the system.
Read our story →Traditional assessments skip the most important question: can this student navigate their life? Ripa Elevate treats life skills as a primary category, not a footnote.
Other tools make you pay for assessments, reports, and prep separately. Ripa Elevate includes everything in one place for $49/month.
Your child answers questions in 7 skill areas. The questions get harder when they answer correctly and easier when they struggle. This finds exactly where your child is, not where a grade level says they should be. Takes about 15 minutes.
After each assessment, you get a full report written in plain language that explains what your child can do, what they need help with, and exactly what to say at your next IEP meeting. Every question is shown with your child's answer.
Your report includes a ready-to-use statement for the IEP document, suggested goals in the format schools use, specific questions to ask the team, and a parent concern letter you can send before the meeting. No other tool gives you all of this.
Based on how your child used hints and read-aloud during the assessment, we suggest specific classroom accommodations you can request. You get the exact words to use at the meeting, like "Can my child have text-to-speech access?"
Between assessments, your child can practice any category at their level. Practice mode is ungraded and pressure-free. It builds confidence and skills so the next assessment shows real growth.
Reassess every 30 days. Your dashboard shows how your child's scores change over time with a visual timeline. Walk into your IEP meeting and say "my child went from 45% to 72% in 3 months" with data to prove it.
Assess multiple categories and get a radar chart showing your child's strengths and gaps across all 7 areas. Print one page that gives the IEP team the complete picture. No other parent tool does this for life skills.
Enter your child's actual IEP goals from school. Ripa Elevate automatically compares assessment results against those goals and shows you the gap: "Goal: 70%. Current: 58%. Gap: 12 points." You will always know where your child stands.
Send a read-only link to your child's teacher, therapist, or IEP team. They can view the full report without creating an account. Add your own parent observations about what you see at home. Available in English and Spanish.
Card required. Cancel any time before day 8 and pay nothing.
Students are never ranked against each other. Each level describes how independently they can think and function.
