"I was always the middle man. The school had no idea what the private therapists were working on. The therapists had no insight into the school's goals. Nobody was on the same page."

— A special needs parent. And the reason Bairn exists.

The Problem

Sound familiar?

The binder. The texts. The emails. The IEP you printed but cannot find. The exercise the therapist explained at pickup that you cannot quite remember. Families of children with special needs carry more than anyone should have to carry alone.

✕
Nobody talks to each other
Your child's speech therapist has never seen the OT goals. The ABA therapist does not know what the school is targeting. Every provider is doing good work. None of them are connected.
✕
You are the messenger
You carry the updates. You repeat the progress reports. You are the only reason anyone on the team knows what anyone else is doing. That is not your job. But somehow it became yours.
✕
The details disappear between sessions
The therapist explained what to practice. You nodded. Three days later you cannot remember exactly what they said. And next session you are starting over.
✕
IEP meetings feel like a test you did not study for
You know the meeting is coming. You mean to pull everything together. But the day arrives and you walk in hoping for the best.
A Note from Our Founder

I have a child with special needs. For years I sat in IEP meetings hoping I had remembered everything. I texted updates between providers who had never spoken to each other. I was the one holding the binder, making the calls, repeating the same information to every new person who joined the team.

Nobody had built anything for families like mine. The tools that existed were built for schools or for individual therapists. Nobody was thinking about the parent in the middle.

So I built Bairn.

Not because I had a business idea. Because I was exhausted and I knew other families were too. Bairn is what I wished I had when my child's care team was at its most fragmented. It is a place to put everything down, stop being the messenger, and finally let the people who care for your child actually talk to each other.

If that sounds like your life, you are exactly who I built this for.

Features

One place for all of it.

When you join, and when your therapists connect on Bairn, they stop working in the dark — and you stop being the middle man.

✓
Your child's goals, organized in one place
Upload your child's IEP and see every goal organized by discipline. Speech, OT, ABA, school — all of it, in one view.
✓
Build your care team directory
Add every provider your child works with. Name, discipline, contact information. Your team lives in Bairn whether or not they have joined the platform.
✓
Our Hopes — your family's voice
A private space to write what matters most to your family in plain language. Not clinical goals. Just you, telling your child's story. Every connected provider sees it.
✓
See every session update in real time
The moment a connected therapist logs a session, you see what they worked on, how it went, and what to practice at home. No texts. No emails. Just there.
✓
Track home exercises yourself
Log practice at home even before a therapist assigns anything. Build the habit. Show your providers what you have been working on between sessions.
✓
Walk into your IEP meeting prepared
Set your IEP date and get a reminder before the meeting. When the day comes, print your child's Bairn summary — goals, progress across every provider, and your care team in one document — and walk in with everything you need.
✓
Now your therapists talk to each other
Every connected provider sees the same goal view. Your child's OT knows what speech is working on. The ABA therapist sees the school goals. Nobody is working in the dark anymore.

When your spot is ready, your family dashboard will be waiting.

Bairn is built around the whole child.

Not one therapist. Not one discipline. Not one school year. Your child is more than any single provider can see. Bairn brings every piece of the picture together so the people who care for your child finally have the full picture — and you finally have a place to put it all down.

"Children with special needs are more likely to receive integrated, child-centred support when their providers collaborate across disciplines."

Early Childhood Education Journal, 2024

"An uncoordinated approach to care can undermine even the most committed family's attempts to follow clinical recommendations."

NIH Technical Review on Care Coordination for Children with Special Health Care Needs

21.8% of families with children who have special health care needs report needing extra help coordinating care — and nearly a quarter of those families never receive that help.
