BanqO vs e-IEP PRO

BanqO is a web platform for creating, managing, and reviewing Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and Transition Programs. It supports students, parents, teachers, remedial teachers, psycho-educators, and other stakeholders. Its goals directory covers learning needs for ages 4–21 and contains more than 25,000 goals. BanqO describes the goals as compliant with the Quebec Education Program and linked to Quebec Progression of Learning standards, and says it can adapt to education standards in other provinces or countries. Users can tailor goals to students, set criteria and conditions, add content, and collect goals for reuse. Team members can share plans and exchange notes by email, while the platform supports strategy assignment, progress monitoring, and student reports. Each plan can be downloaded or printed as a PDF. BanqO offers group rates for schools and school boards, as well as individual annual subscriptions covering one user and that user's students. The listed Center or Clinic Membership starts at $900 a year; the site also offers a 10-day free trial that renews into a subscription unless canceled.

e-IEP PRO is a customizable web-based student management system for schools and districts handling special education. It centralizes student information and supports paperless transfer of electronic records. Modules cover referrals, meeting notices, prior written notices, assessments and evaluations, IEPs, progress reporting, Section 504 forms, Medicaid session tracking, and compliance reporting. The system incorporates federal and state required documents and is tailored to state requirements. Reporting includes ad-hoc, State (AzEDS), and Census reports, with a module for Student Information System integration. Notifications flag due dates for meetings and IEP or MET reviews. IEP team document locking is intended to protect data integrity. The hosted service is accessible from internet-connected computers or mobile devices. Training videos and software support are available 24/7. The maker offers scheduled online demonstrations, typically about 1.5 hours.
