IEPWriter vs SEIS

IEPWriter is a web-based special education document system for local education agencies. It lets LEAs create IEPs, evaluation reports, behavioral improvement plans, letters, and other documents. Available modules include Children Count/IDEA, PIMS, Section 504, Progress Monitoring, and STaR options for LEAs and intermediate units. Children Count offers over 30 standard reports and a built-in custom reporting option. Progress Monitoring collects and analyzes student goal progress and can display it in graphs for reports. STaR lets service providers track student and other activity time from a web-enabled device, review the last 30 days of logs, and export billing data for MA-eligible students. A subscription-based SIS Bridge syncs information with district student information systems; interoperability depends on the SIS and the data required. The maker says browser-to-site communication is encrypted with TLS and data is backed up daily. The application requires high-speed internet and a current common browser. Tablet and iPad browsers are supported, though some features may be limited by the device. Pricing is available by contacting Leader Services.

SEIS is a web-based system for managing IEPs and special education records. It supports IEP writing, special education data management, CALPADS reporting, and service tracking. Forms use information from the Student Record, while a built-in utility flags CALPADS errors during the IEP affirm process. Providers can record service delivery, and an optional Medi-Cal billing feature sends service information to Medi-Cal for Interim Reimbursement. District SIS integrations sync data with SEIS and update it nightly. BeyondSST supports recording and sharing SST and 504 interventions, observations, and meetings. Student IEP history moves with students transferring within the SEIS network. The system is managed by CEDR Systems, a department of the San Joaquin County Office of Education, and reports use by 115 SELPAs and more than 1,500 LEAs or school districts in California. Supported environments are Windows 10 build 2004 or later, Windows 11, and macOS 12 or later. Pricing is on request.
