CT-SEDS vs SPEDHub

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.

SPEDHub is a special education management system for K-12 districts, covering work from initial referrals through IEP development and annual reviews. Its IEP builder includes compliance checks, and its meeting scheduler sends reminders. Progress monitoring dashboards and a parent portal for document access are also listed, alongside state reporting automation and Medicaid billing integration. The service is available on the web and through an API, with integrations including Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, Skyward, SAML/SSO, and custom REST API connections. Files are encrypted in storage and transit, with role-based access and audit logging; permissions sync with OneRoster and Microsoft 365. EduGovernance says SPEDHub is FERPA, COPPA, and SOC 2 compliant. Users sign in with an organizational account, and an organization's IT administrator must authorize the app first. EduGovernance offers migration assistance and describes its support as human support from people who understand education. Pricing is available on request.
