A Breakthrough Solution for IEP Drafting and Compliance

Educators and school districts know that developing high-quality Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) is one of the most time-intensive and legally complex responsibilities in special education. Traditional IEP management systems have helped with organization, but none have truly addressed the most difficult part—writing legally compliant, student-centered IEPs that meet all federal and state requirements.

IEP Companion is changing that. Unlike other platforms that rely on outdated templates or generic goal banks, IEP Companion harnesses advanced AI technology to generate unique, data-driven IEPs in minutes. This game-changing innovation is designed to reduce teacher workload, improve compliance, and ensure every student gets the individualized support they need.

How IEP Companion Saves Time Without Sacrificing Quality

One of the biggest challenges educators face is the sheer amount of time it takes to write a legally sound IEP. What once took four or more hours per student can now be completed in under two minutes with IEP Companion’s fully automated system.

  • Instantly generates PLAAFPs, SMART goals, accommodations, and services—all tailored to each student’s needs.

  • Provides 24/7 access so educators can modify and create IEPs whenever necessary.

  • Seamlessly integrates with existing IEP management software, ensuring smooth implementation across school districts.

By leveraging automation, teachers can focus on student support instead of paperwork, reducing burnout and improving outcomes.

Ensuring 100% Legal Compliance

A single compliance mistake in an IEP can lead to costly litigation and impact a student's education. IEP Companion was built with legal safeguards to ensure full alignment with IDEA, Section 504, ADA, and state-specific laws.

  • Automatically generates audit-ready justifications for all accommodations and supports.

  • Prevents vague or inconsistent language, reducing the risk of disputes.

  • Ensures internal consistency across all IEP sections, a common issue that leads to compliance violations.

This level of legal precision greatly reduces litigation risk for school districts while giving educators confidence in the quality of their IEPs.
