Our Story
In 1997, my wife Florence was working as a school nurse at a special education school. Through her, I got my first look at the challenges these programs face — managing medications, immunizations, and health records on paper for students with complex medical needs. I built her a solution, and that first Health Module became the foundation for everything that followed.

Paradigm has been providing customized IT solutions for private special education schools since 1997. Our outstanding customer satisfaction record speaks for itself — schools stay with us for decades because we deliver.
Built for Special Education
Our long-term commitment to our customers and private special education schools in particular means we are able to support your school, its administration and students. We pride ourselves on providing effective IT solutions for schools of every size — from large multi-campus organizations enrolling hundreds of students, to smaller ones that serve as few as 20.
While New Jersey clients still make up the bulk of our customers, Paradigm now also works with schools in New York and Maryland, and continues to expand its customer base. We've developed significant Maryland-specific capabilities including state reporting formats, MSDE compliance support, and billing integrations tailored to Maryland's unique requirements.
Security & Compliance
Our staff is certified, talented and extremely customer focused. Since we work with you, and you work with children, all of our employees pass background checks and maintain all required certifications. We understand FERPA compliance, state reporting requirements, and the unique challenges of special education administration.
