Riverside Insights Unveils DESSA® x Move This World, a Connected System for Student Behavioral Health

What is DESSA x Move This World in a Nutshell?

For the first time, districts can approach student behavioral health as a truly connected system rather than a collection of fragmented tools. Here is what the new system brings to your district:

• Clear, Actionable Data: Leverages DESSA’s rigorous screening and assessment tools to accurately identify exactly which students need support and where their specific skill gaps lie.
• Evidence-Based Instruction: Integrates Move This World’s daily social-emotional and behavioral instruction to consistently build the skills students need most.
• A Continuous Cycle of Support: Eliminates the guesswork for teachers by directly linking assessment visibility with instructional content, allowing educators to monitor growth over time and deepen services when necessary.

Closing the Gap Between Data and Instruction

"For too long, schools have had to piece together separate tools to understand student needs, deliver support, and track whether that support is working,” says Vivek Kartha, CEO of Riverside Insights. “DESSA x Move This World changes that by helping educators see what skills students need to build, take meaningful action, and monitor progress over time, all within one connected system.”

By uniting these two powerhouse solutions, educators are no longer left wondering what to do next once a student is flagged for support.

Sara Potler LaHayne, founder of Move This World and head of Behavioral and Mental Health at Riverside Insights, notes that the integration solves one of the biggest hurdles in modern education:

"The problem has always been that the data lives in one place and the instruction lives somewhere else. Uniting DESSA and Move This World closes that gap, so teachers aren't just seeing what a student needs; they're immediately equipped to do something about it."

Bring a Connected System to Your Classrooms

Riverside Insights is on a mission to transform fragmented student well-being programs so that you can identify learner needs earlier, act with confidence, and see measurable benefits districtwide.
