The Problem

IEP creation takes 8–15 hours per student. Paper-based IEPs are stored in file cabinets and hard to access. Progress monitoring is manual and inconsistent. IDEA compliance requires specific documentation that's easy to miss. Due process hearings cost $50K+ when IEPs aren't properly documented. Parent communication about IEP progress is infrequent.
