e-IEP PRO vs Spiro

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.

Spiro is a web-based AI platform for primary-school SEND administration. It helps SENCOs and school staff draft individual support plans from uploaded plans, notes, or reports, then supports termly AI-assisted progress reviews. EHCP workflows connect outcomes and statutory provision to pupil plans and can draft needs-assessment applications in local-authority formats. Schools can upload their own templates, select evidence, edit drafts, and export Word or PDF documents. Provision mapping covers pupils, groups, timetable slots, and costs, with AI suggestions for interventions and adjustments. Reports generated from live plan data support Ofsted, governor, and Inclusion Strategies reporting. MIS information syncs daily through Wonde, and multi-factor authentication is listed. Spiro says controlled personal data stays on UK servers, with TLS in transit and AES-256 at rest among its measures. Pricing starts at £500/yr, with no free plan; the first term is offered risk-free. It is operated by Medthrive Ltd in London.
