Problem

Across the U.S., over 7 million students rely on Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) to guide their learning and development. Each student’s plan includes multiple goals, objectives, and support areas, managed by a team of educators, therapists, and administrators.

But the process of tracking and reporting progress is outdated. Teachers juggle dozens of students, each with complex documentation needs. Data is scattered across notebooks, sticky notes, Google Docs, and memory. Reporting becomes a scavenger hunt that takes hours every week.

This leads to missing data, compliance risks, and inconsistent support, ultimately preventing students from getting the help they deserve.
