IEP Pilot vs SyncIEP

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.

SyncIEP is a web workspace for special education teams handling IEPs, progress, deadlines, meetings, and family communication. It drafts and edits on a district’s existing IEP form using case-file evidence, while educators review suggestions before they enter an IEP. Progress monitoring can score photographed student work against a goal metric and add sourced points to a mastery series. The caseload dashboard brings together student deadlines, tasks, compliance health, and meetings, and supports bulk roster imports with mapping and validation. Google Calendar and Outlook connections check availability, flag conflicts, and synchronize confirmed meetings. Families can view shared documents and plain-language progress reports and respond to meeting invitations through free portal accounts. Security statements cover encryption in transit and at rest, tenant-isolated workspaces, role-based access, and audit logging. SyncIEP says it signs the SDPC National Data Privacy Agreement before student data is added. The Educator plan costs $10 a month for one caseload; a 30-day trial is listed, but no free plan.
