Here’s the full breakdown across five tabs. A few strategic highlights worth calling out:
The three surest bets based on competitor vacuum + willingness to pay:
- Paraprofessional autism certification quizzes — most paraprofessionals in states without certification requirements have no standardized training or qualification pathway, yet teachers and paraprofessionals alike identify lack of proper training as a considerable barrier to fulfilling their responsibilities. The paid digital version of this simply doesn’t exist at scale. ERICmsu
- Water safety readiness assessment for autism — drowning is the leading cause of death for autistic children, and as one startup directory noted, there’s exactly one company attempting to address this with any kind of certification — and it hasn’t built a digital assessment product yet.
- Social story comprehension quizzes with IEP export — teachers already use social stories constantly, but the assessment and documentation layer is entirely missing. The TpT marketplace shows demand but has no assessment engine.
On the books-to-digitize side, the most actionable are The Zones of Regulation (used in millions of classrooms, no official quiz), the VB-MAPP (gold standard, paper-only, $100+ per booklet), and The Hidden Curriculum (scenario-based quizzes would write themselves).
The fastest cash is probably the RBT exam prep niche — clear exam to prep for, tens of thousands of test-takers annually, existing competitors are low quality, and people will pay $40–$70 without hesitation right before a high-stakes test.
