Built around the student, not the paperwork.
The Promise
Special education is drowning in its own paperwork. Teachers spend up to half their working time on documentation, and one in three leaves the role each year. Every one of the 7.5 million students under IDEA carries a recurring legal paper trail the law requires. It can't be cut, only made faster. SpEd Coach was built by special educators to do exactly that: designed from the ground up for special education, not bolted onto a billing system or adapted from a general K-12 tool. Every screen starts with the student, giving educators their time back without asking your district to abandon the systems it already relies on.

Records, evaluations, IEPs, notices, services, and progress tie back to one connected picture.
The paperwork serves the student; the student is never buried in it.
Teacher-friendly
Usable by a first-year teacher, with no training and no manual.
Plain language, not jargon: terms explained right where they appear.
The fewest possible clicks, with guidance you can turn off.
Works on desktop and tablet, built for itinerant staff between campuses.
Who it's for
One connected system
Special education runs as one chain: evaluation, eligibility, IEP, services, notices. Most tools fragment it into disconnected forms. SpEd Coach runs the whole chain on one student record and one login, so nothing is re-entered or lost.
AI governance & privacy
AI makes no decisions. People do, every time. AI drafts, summarizes, and organizes; every finalized document is authored by a human.
Human review is built in, not optional: important documents can't be finalized without it.
Student PII is protected when AI is used, so privacy stays at the center.
FERPA-Aware throughout: sensitive student information handled carefully across the platform.
Decisions stay defensible: finalized documents preserve a clear, locked record.
AI assists everywhere, decides nowhere: educators stay the author and the decision-maker.
Time back
Over half a special educator's week is administrative load and barely a third reaches direct instruction. Every documentation hour is an hour not spent with a student. SpEd Coach does the repetitive lifting and tracks compliance automatically, so the balance shifts back to teaching.
Your student information system stays. No data migration, no system replacement: districts add SpEd Coach as the special-education layer, they don't switch to it.
