About IncluShift
IncluShift, Inc. is a Delaware-incorporated educational technology company building a unified software platform aligned to IDEA Part B, Part C, and Section 504 — a ten-product, research-informed ecosystem designed to reduce educator documentation burden, support district compliance monitoring, and provide learners with instruction grounded in peer-reviewed research.
Mission
7.5 million American students receive special education services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Yet the infrastructure supporting these students — the IEP documentation, the intervention tracking, the compliance reporting, the family communication — remains fragmented across dozens of disconnected tools, paper binders, and spreadsheets.
IncluShift exists to replace that fragmentation with one standards-aligned platform. From early intervention at birth through vocational independence, from the student's device to the superintendent's dashboard — every data point, every intervention, every compliance record flows through a single, FERPA-compliant, research-informed ecosystem.
Core Values
Research-Informed
Every product is grounded in peer-reviewed research. We do not ship features without a peer-reviewed citation trail.
Privacy-First
Zero-PII architecture. No analytics on our website. No tracking in our products. FERPA and COPPA compliant by design.
Accessibility-Forward
WCAG 2.2 AA conformant, with AAA-target on student-facing flows. Universal input support via the IncluAccess engine. Accessibility is a feature, not an afterthought.
Educator-Centered
Built by special educators, for special educators. Every design decision asks: does this reduce teacher burden?
Founder & CEO
Davit Janunts
Davit Janunts, founder of IncluShift, holds a Master of Education in Special Education from Lehigh University (2020) as a Fulbright Foreign Student Program grantee, and is a listed co-author on a peer-reviewed systematic review published in Exceptional Children — the flagship journal of the Council for Exceptional Children (Morin et al., 2024, 90(2), 126–147; doi.org/10.1177/00144029231165506).
He has also completed the Edmund S. Muskie Internship Program (administered by Cultural Vistas) and the Fulbright Teaching Excellence and Achievement (TEA) Program (administered by IREX). At Lehigh he worked as a graduate research assistant under Dr. Kristi Morin, Ph.D., BCBA-D, and completed the What Works Clearinghouse Group Design Standards training (Institute of Education Sciences, U.S. Department of Education, 2020).
Years of classroom teaching — in rural Armenia and at the Yerevan N2 Territorial Pedagogical-Psychological Support Center, where he developed individualized plans for over thirty students with complex learning and behavioral needs — exposed him to the documentation burden peer-reviewed in Vannest & Hagan-Burke (2010, Remedial and Special Education, 31(2), 126–142). IncluShift — ten integrated applications and twenty-plus shared engine and infrastructure packages — is his answer to it.
