🏢 Who Uses EdQueries as an Institution

EdQueries’ institutional user base spans five distinct segments. Each has different workflows, different accountability requirements, and different reasons for choosing a structured digital platform over printed materials or fragmented apps.

• Special schools — using EdQueries as a differentiated digital resource across mixed-ability classrooms, aligned to CBSE, NIOS OBE, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Nagaland, and Andhra Pradesh boards
• Therapy centres and OT practices — using EdQueries between and during sessions to provide structured, repeatable practice without additional therapist time
• Developmental pediatric clinics — recommending EdQueries as a home and centre practice tool, with specific course prescriptions written into post-assessment reports
• Disability-focused NGOs and trusts — deploying EdQueries across multiple beneficiary sites with a single Institutional Plan, generating outcome data for funder reporting
• CSR programme managers — using EdQueries as the digital delivery mechanism for Section 135-compliant disability education initiatives, with measurable, auditable outcomes

📚 What EdQueries Offers Institutions

The platform gives institutions access to 7,097 browser-based interactive games across 139 courses and 37 subject categories — no app installation, no device compatibility issues, no per-game purchase. Every game runs in a modern browser on tablets, Chromebooks, or desktops.

Content coverage

• Academic: Maths, English, Hindi, Science/EVS — aligned to CBSE, NIOS, and five state boards
• Life Skills: Daily living, hygiene, dressing, routines, money skills, time skills, social skills
• Cognition: Visual perception, working memory, attention, reasoning, executive function
• Communication: Receptive language, expressive language, AAC support, WH questions, emotion recognition
• Vocational: Retail support, paper bag making, spice packaging, money handling, quality control
• Young Adults: Pre-employment readiness, workplace behaviour, independent living

Game mechanics (13 types)

Institutions choose by mechanic as well as content — matching the format to each learner’s sensory profile and IEP goals. The highest-engagement mechanics are Memory-Match, Drag-and-Drop, Maze navigation, and Puzzle/Jigsaw. Treasure Hunt is the highest-engagement format of all; the platform currently has 12 Treasure Hunt games with more in production.

Dual SCORM + H5P format

All 7,097 games are available in both SCORM and H5P format — making them compatible with any institution that runs an LMS. Institutions that want to host games within their own Moodle, Canvas, or Google Classroom environment can do so without any additional conversion work.

🏫 Special Schools: How EdQueries Works in the Classroom

A special school in Hyderabad running a NIOS OBE stream for students who cannot follow standard CBSE pace uses EdQueries’ NIOS-aligned Maths and English courses as structured digital practice between teacher-led sessions. Students who previously disengaged from textbook work sustain engagement on the quiz and maze formats for 15–20 minutes — and the school documents session completion as part of NIOS OBE portfolio evidence.

The classroom use case is built around three practical realities of special education: mixed-ability groups, limited staff-to-student ratios, and IEP goals that differ for every child. EdQueries addresses all three simultaneously. Each child can be on a different course, at a different level, using a different mechanic — on the same set of devices, in the same room, at the same time.

🔬 Therapy Centres and OT Practices

Therapy centres use EdQueries in two distinct ways: during sessions as a structured activity tool, and between sessions as assigned home practice that families can run without therapist presence.

During sessions: structured group differentiation

An occupational therapy practice in Chennai runs daily one-hour group sessions with six children across different ages and diagnoses. Before EdQueries, the therapist spent 45 minutes each evening preparing differentiated worksheets. With EdQueries, each child’s course is pre-assigned. Session prep has dropped to under ten minutes. The saved time is used for hands-on skill transfer and debrief — the high-value work only a therapist can do.

Between sessions: assigned home practice

Therapists assign specific EdQueries games as between-session practice — sharing a direct browser link with families. Because every game runs in a browser with no installation, parents can supervise the activity at home without needing any technical knowledge. The game itself provides the structure, feedback, and repetition; the therapist reviews progress at the next session and adjusts the prescription accordingly.

🏩 Developmental Pediatricians and Clinical Professionals

Developmental pediatricians, child psychologists, speech-language pathologists, and occupational therapists increasingly use EdQueries as a prescriptive tool — writing specific course and game recommendations into post-assessment reports, the same way they would recommend a therapy protocol.

The clinical use case works because EdQueries content maps directly to the skill domains assessed in standardised evaluations: ADL functioning, receptive and expressive language, working memory, visual perception, attention regulation, and pre-vocational readiness. A clinician who identifies a working memory deficit in an ADHD assessment can point the family to a specific EdQueries Cognition course with Memory-Match mechanics targeting that exact skill — and know the family can access it from home immediately.

Professionals on the individual Professional Plan (₹749/month) can use EdQueries in clinical or session contexts. Centre-based use across multiple staff members requires the Institutional Plan.

🌐 NGOs and Disability Trusts

NGOs and disability trusts face a specific constraint that EdQueries is well placed to solve: they need to deliver meaningful, measurable learning outcomes across multiple sites and beneficiaries — without proportionally scaling their staff headcount.

A single Institutional Plan gives an NGO access to all 7,097 games across all 139 courses, deployable across every beneficiary site covered by the plan. Staff at each site do not need specialist digital skills — the games open in a browser, the mechanic is self-explanatory, and the visual feedback keeps learners on task without constant staff intervention.

For funder reporting, EdQueries provides NGOs with a structured outcome vocabulary: task initiation rates, error reduction across repeated attempts, engagement duration, generalisation milestones, and vocational readiness indicators. These are observable, documentable metrics — not anecdotal claims.

🏢 CSR-Funded Programmes and Section 135 Compliance

Under Companies Act Section 135, disability education qualifies as a CSR spend category. EdQueries is used by CSR programme managers as the delivery platform for structured, auditable disability education initiatives — providing the digital infrastructure, content library, and outcome documentation that corporate compliance teams require.

Key advantages for CSR deployments: browser-based delivery requires no device procurement beyond tablets or desktops already present at beneficiary sites; the 7,097-game library covers every age group and disability profile likely to be present in a CSR beneficiary population; and the Institutional Plan provides a single, scalable cost structure that CSR budget holders can present cleanly in compliance filings.

📈 Measurable Outcomes: What Institutions Report

Every institutional context — schools, therapy centres, NGOs, clinical practices — needs outcomes that can be reported to parents, funders, regulators, or accreditation bodies. EdQueries sessions generate five categories of observable, documentable outcome:

• Task initiation: Does the learner open and begin the activity within 60 seconds without adult prompting? Recordable as a binary IEP milestone.
• Error reduction across attempts: Because every game can be repeated identically, educators track whether error rates fall across sessions — the clearest available measure of skill acquisition.
• Engagement duration: For ADHD and attention profiles, on-task time is an IEP metric. EdQueries’ high-engagement mechanics (Memory-Match, Maze, Drag-Drop) produce sustained engagement durations that educators can record and trend.
• Generalisation readiness: After a learner masters a digital sequencing or simulation activity, the educator tests the same skill using real objects or environments. The gap between digital performance and real-world performance narrows measurably over a defined intervention period.
• Vocational readiness indicators: For young adults, completion of store simulation or production-task activities with zero adult prompts across three consecutive sessions is a documentable pre-employment readiness marker — directly usable in supported employment referrals.

💳 The EdQueries Institutional Plan

The Institutional Plan is designed for any organisation using EdQueries in a centre, classroom, or multi-staff clinical context. It covers all 7,097 games across all 139 courses, for all learners at the institution, under a single custom-priced subscription.
