Some of the cities in the four regions include Fort Worth, Abilene, San Angelo, Wichita Falls and Albany.
Brainchild products are designed for Response to Intervention and individualized instruction or for helping Spanish-speaking students.

Study Buddy cartridges are available in English, Spanish and Haitian Creole. TAKS Achiever! provides Spanish support for the test questions, tutorials and answers including all the on-screen animations, illustrations, text and audio narrations.
