# Why I built EdPsych Connect, from the founder

Dr Scott I-Patrick, founder of EdPsych Connect, presented through his licensed digital likeness in his own certified cloned voice (his consented identity pipeline; see docs/compliance/OWNER_CLONE_CONSENT_RECORD.md and docs/VIDEO_STRATEGY_DECISION_2026.md section 12). The words are his approved message. This is the full, verbatim transcript of the spoken message.

Hello, my name is Dr Scott I-Patrick.

I built EdPsych Connect for one simple reason.

Too often, families of children with special educational needs are left holding the fragmented system together, carrying the same story between school, local authority and health.

It does not have to be that way.

EdPsych Connect brings everyone together, so that the right support arrives at the right time, with the child's voice at the centre of it.

It does not replace the people who know your child. It frees them (parents, teachers, psychologists) to do the job that only humans can do.

That is the promise. Coordinated, prevention-first support, brought to your child.
