IEP Online vs SEAS Achieve

IEP Online helps school districts build and manage individualized education plans while supporting ministry requirements. Its workflows cover mandated IEP and identification and placement processes, clinical services, special education equipment, special transportation, and data analytics. Districts can customize forms and workflows for needs such as safety plans, student learning profiles, consent, and report cards. Reporting supports Ontario School Information System submissions and Ministry-compliant PDF forms. The system can connect with an existing student information system and Microsoft Active Directory, including single sign-on. It also supports meeting-planning email notifications and electronic document delivery that lets families respond. Its Equipment Online module tracks and assigns special equipment and loaner assets; Clinical Services manages referrals, consent, and service tracking; Transportation Online handles special transport requests and approvals. IEP Online offers hosted or self-hosted installations and a browser-based dashboard compatible with most browsers without special add-ons. Pricing is on request.

SEAS Achieve is web-based plan-management software that gives educators one login for IEP, ELL, RTI, Gifted and Talented, and Section 504 plans. Users can add students and plans, follow timelines and due dates, and communicate with parents, teachers, and administrators. Email alerts cover plans and tasks, while customizable timelines and cross-plan reports organize information for each student. Achieve integrates with CLASS, allowing recommendations to help create plans while reducing data entry. Its IEP Plan Pack includes goal pages, progress updates, custom goal and objective banks, a goal-development wizard, and reporting tools. SEAS says districts can adapt the pack to existing district and state forms. The Section 504 pack contains more than 30 OCR-compliant forms. Add-ons include SmartEval, with over 600 assessment templates, and Avatalker AAC, a picture-to-speech teaching aid. Updates for state and federal standards are automatically available. Pricing is on request.
