CT-SEDS vs e-IEP PRO

CT-SEDS is Connecticut’s statewide web-based special education data system for developing adaptive, compliant IEPs. The state provides it to local education agencies at no cost, with staff permissions assigned by role. Its IEP and referral/evaluation modules include compliance rules and warnings during document completion. Other modules cover service plans, service delivery tracking, progress reports, Section 504 plans, restraint and seclusion, and related special education processes. Student records are kept in a document repository, which is copied to a new district when the student’s PSIS enrollment district changes. Parent Connect sends parents links to specific documents by email or text; parents do not sign into CT-SEDS itself. Documents can be translated into Connecticut’s ten listed languages and printed in the selected language when finalized. Reports include indicator and aggregate views, advanced reporting from document fields, and a dashboard that alerts case managers about approaching timelines and meetings. A nightly integration with the Public School Information System exchanges enrollment district, demographic, and facility code data. Districts cannot add their own processes or documents, though they can upload materials and templates for users.

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.
