About IEP Studio
IEP Studio started as a tool for the people doing the work: special education teachers, SLPs, OTs, counselors, and case managers writing goals at the kitchen table on a Sunday night. Schools and districts can offer it to teams, but the workflow is designed around the people who write and track goals every day—not around a compliance dashboard.
How our guides are created
The IEP Studio Editorial Team writes for the real decisions educators make while drafting goals and monitoring progress. We review federal regulations and primary state or federal guidance, check examples for clarity and classroom usability, and show the publication date, review date, and source list on every guide. If something needs correction, email hello@iepstudio.app.
The privacy position
IEP Studio is designed to work without student names, birthdates, ID numbers, addresses, or photos. Use initials or a private classroom code, and do not enter identifying details in free-text fields. Collecting less data reduces risk, while still leaving educators and districts responsible for following their own privacy policies. Read the full privacy and security posture.
How the AI is used — and what it can’t do
IEP Studio uses Anthropic's commercial API to draft goal components from a plain-language description and turn progress data into a family-friendly summary. The model cannot know a student's baseline or decide what belongs in an IEP. The educator supplies the baseline, target, and context; every draft is meant to be edited, and every goal remains the professional judgment of the IEP team.
What we don’t claim
We don't claim to be “FERPA certified” — no such government certification exists. We label illustrative community stories and fictional portraits rather than presenting them as customer endorsements. And nothing here is legal advice; IEP requirements vary by state, and your team and district remain the authority on your documents.
