Who's this for?
Parents, Educators, and Therapists trying to use an IEPs in a way that's ACTUALLY helpful to kids' development. With so much confusing jargon, advocating for your kid, grandkid or student can be intimidating— this is meant for you.
Why are you doing this for free?
IEPs are supposed to HELP parents and caregivers give kids the resources they need to reach their potential. But the documents are confusing and often make helping kids way more complicated than it needs to be. We want to simplify IEPs to make them actually useful so kids can learn and grow like they deserve.
What if this tells me the wrong things?
ChatIEP is meant to break IEPs down into easy and actionable points, but that doesn't mean the output can't be misinterpreted. Make sure to double check the original IEP if you don't understand something.

The IEP team. This team works together to assess your child’s needs and develop an appropriate plan to support your kid’s education. The IEP team typically includes the parent, teacher, school administrator, and other specialists
Of course, you know your child best! If you’re not satisfied with the IEP or the evaluation that led to the development of the IEP, you have the right to disagree and request a due process hearing.
PARENT TIP: Due process hearings are a last resort because they can be expensive and time-consuming. Try to resolve any disagreement through less formal means, like meditation, before requesting a hearing.
