Twenty years of learning tools, built by the teachers who use them
Kidmedia makes interactive educational software for teachers, therapists and parents of children aged 3–12 — with a special focus on special education and specific learning needs.
How it started
In 2005, two special-education teachers — Pagkratis Pavlidis and Christos Bitsis — joined forces to build the interactive tools they wished they had in the classroom. From Pagkratis's very first software release back in 1987, the idea never changed: material tested in practice, by people who teach every day.
“Every piece of material is tested by educators and therapists in practice before it is ever published.”
