IEP Progress vs LSIM

IEP Progress helps special-education teachers monitor IEP goals, collect evidence, and prepare progress reports. Uploading an IEP extracts its goals, objectives, baselines, and dates. As users log data, each goal is graphed against its target line; graphs can be printed with reports or copied into district systems. The app can draft progress narratives, Present Levels, and annual goals from logged data for the teacher to review and finalize. Evidence can include marked trials and photos of student work. Behavioral goals support daily check-ins, while the related ABC Tracker records antecedent, behavior, and consequence data and can draft behavior plans for editing. Progress reports, including graphs, can be translated into family languages, but the official IEP remains in English. Care plans can be exported as PDFs. The service is available on Android, iOS, and web. Individual IEP Progress and ABC Tracker plans each cost $79/year and list a 15-day trial; school plans for either app start at $59/teacher/year with a five-teacher minimum. AI features have a fair-use limit sized for a caseload of about 30.

LSIM is a web application for managing student records linked to Individual Education Plans and Student Learning Plans. Learning Support Coordinators, teachers, and Educational Assistants can view or enter plan information. IEP records may contain goals, objectives, strategies, evaluation criteria, daily progress levels, and related logs. Student Learning Plans track campus-specific details and activity logs for students needing assistance, while schools can customize adaptations, assessments, and plan fields by campus. Reports include IEPs, SLPs, monthly IEP progress, term IEP reports, and activity logs. Active Directory integration provides access control and single sign-on through network credentials. LSIM can receive periodic read-only updates from a school’s master student database; a PowerSchool solution is already in place.
