IEP Pilot vs SIRAS

IEP Pilot is web-based AI software for special education providers creating individualized SMART IEP goals and present-level summaries. Providers can upload assessment reports or answer guided questions and enter baseline data. The service processes psychoeducational, speech-language, occupational-therapy, behavior, previous-IEP, and related eligibility documents; one upload can yield goals across relevant IEP domains with domain-specific baselines, criteria, and measurement methods. It also recommends FAPE services aligned with generated goals. Providers should review the output before using it: IEP Pilot does not determine eligibility or replace the IEP team. A district workspace covers intake, eligibility, IEP development, service delivery, progress monitoring, compliance, state reporting, and Medicaid billing, with SIS and state integrations. Uploaded PDFs are transmitted over an encrypted connection and not retained after analysis. Submitted content is not used to train AI models or sold, shared, or licensed to third parties. The maker says formal security and privacy certifications are still being pursued. The service is web-only, with listed one-time charges from $2.

SIRAS is a cloud-based, browser-accessible system for school districts and special education staff managing IEP, 504, and Student Study Team workflows. Its IEP tools manage documents and CALPADS data, support DINC reports, and include GoalWizard to help staff develop goals. The system can translate most IEP forms from English to Spanish. SST Tracker organizes Student Study Team meetings, validates forms, and supports response to intervention across academic and behavioral strategies in three tiers. The 504 Plan Module supports English and Spanish plans and can work alongside the SST module. Reporting includes customizable lists, compliance searches, statistical reports, and student-data exports in Excel, DBF, or CSV formats. SIRAS supports IEP-to-SIS and SIS-to-SIRAS integration, plus TOMS export and CAASPP reporting. Custom import or export files require scoping and setup, with a possible maintenance fee. Designed with California-specific CALPADS and school reporting support, SIRAS is web-only and has pricing on request.
