SPHERE For Students

SPHERE is a dynamic app designed to help universities and colleges enhance student success by providing personalized strategies, tools, and resources all while optimizing support services.

SPHERE takes a proactive approach, giving students the knowledge and recommendations they need to navigate their learning experiences confidently. At the same time, it helps campuses streamline accessibility support, reducing administrative strain.

Addressing Key Challenges in Higher Education

Today’s colleges and universities face growing pressures to support student well-being, streamline accessibility services, and adapt to evolving needs. SPHERE directly tackles these challenges:

Rising Anxiety, Stress, and Mental Health Challenges

Students are facing increasing levels of stress, anxiety, and depression—yet many struggle to access the right support.

☑️ How SPHERE Helps:

SPHERE equips students with self-assessments and personalized strategies to manage stress, improve time management, and develop techniques to help them take control of their well-being and academic journey.

Limited Awareness of Available Support

Many students encounter barriers to accessing learning adjustments—not because support doesn’t exist, but because they don’t know where to start or even realize they qualify for help.

☑️ How SPHERE Helps:

SPHERE bridges the awareness gap by guiding students through self-discovery, helping them recognize their needs and access the right resources—without the frustration of navigating complex processes alone.

Increasing Demand on Accessibility Services

Disability disclosures have risen from 29% in 2019 to 37% in 2022, overwhelming accessibility offices and stretching resources thin.

☑️ How SPHERE Helps:

SPHERE provides self-service recommendations that help students independently address common accessibility concerns, ensuring that those who need direct support can access it more efficiently.

Gaps in Traditional Academic Adjustments

Adjustments typically focus on physical disabilities, diagnosed mental health conditions, ADHD, and learning disabilities—but many students face additional barriers that impact their success.

☑️ How SPHERE Helps:

By supporting cognitive, sensory, and executive functioning needs—such as time management, organization, and emotional regulation—SPHERE ensures students receive comprehensive support beyond standard resources.

Growing Concerns About Data Privacy

Students are increasingly mindful of how their personal data is collected and used, making trust and transparency essential.

☑️ How SPHERE Helps:

SPHERE upholds strict privacy standards, ensuring transparency in data management while maintaining student trust and institutional integrity.

Financial and Staffing Constraints

Universities and colleges are operating with limited budgets and staff, making it difficult to offer personalized support at scale.

☑️ How SPHERE Helps:

By digitizing and automating aspects of student support, SPHERE reduces the burden on accessibility offices while ensuring every student has access to the guidance they need.
