IEP Tools · Brightfold Scholar

Helping shape the future of IEPs

Brightfold’s IEP tools help special educators start from a draft, not a blank page, and check a finished IEP before the team does. They support your judgment. They never replace it.

About the IEP tools

Brightfold is here to support your judgment, not replace it. IEP Outline asks what you already know and drafts each section around it, marking gaps instead of inventing data. IEP Compliance reads a finished IEP section by section and quotes the page behind every finding, so your team decides with the evidence in front of it.

Three tools for the week of an IEP

Two tools built for the IEP itself, and a chat that knows special education. A few highlights.

IEP Outline starts with questions, not a blank page. Pick the disability, the grade and the areas of support, add what you know in your own words, and the draft is built from your answers. A first name and age are all it needs.

Spot the flaws

Six problems,
one IEP draft

This draft was written at 4pm on a Thursday. IEP Compliance reads for what a tired reviewer can miss. Pick a finding to see it in the draft.

Student: Maya (fictional) · Grade 7 · Eligibility: SLD

Present levels

Maya is reading below grade level. Her DIBELS score on a grade 7 passage was 98 wcpm. She is on grade level in math. Maya is lazy about written work and refuses to complete lab write-ups. She gets along with peers.

Goals

1. By November 2027, Maya will read grade 6 passages at 140 wcpm with 97% accuracy.

2. Maya will improve her writing skills.

3. Given multi-step math word problems, Maya will solve them with 80% accuracy.

Our promises

Brightfold supports your judgment.
It never replaces it.

Every draft and every review follows the same steps, and a person makes every call.

  1. Step 1: Answer

    You answer guided questions in your own words.

  2. Step 2: Draft

    Each section is written from your answers.

  3. Step 3: Mark gaps

    Missing data is flagged for the team, never invented.

  4. Step 4: Check

    IEP Compliance reviews every required section.

  5. Step 5: Decide

    You and your IEP team make every decision.

  • First name and age only

    The tools never need a student’s surname or date of birth, and personal data is removed before the AI sees a message.

  • Works alongside your system

    Brightfold helps you prepare. Your IEP still lives where it lives today.

  • The team decides

    Brightfold drafts and flags. You and your IEP team make every decision.

What your district sees and controls

  • Turn IEP Outline, IEP Compliance and Open Chat on or off, for everyone or by role
  • Review flagged messages, mark false alarms and send email alerts
  • Add your own blocked words and warning phrases to the safety check
  • See how special education staff use the tools and download usage reports
  • Check the audit log, which Scholar can add to but never edit or erase

  • Three tools for special educators. IEP Outline drafts an IEP from guided questions, IEP Compliance reviews a finished IEP section by section, and Open Chat helps with everyday work like adapting assignments and writing to families.

  • Yes. The IEP tools live in Scholar, so every message passes the same safety check and your district keeps the same controls. Your administrator turns the IEP tools on when the district is ready.

  • A first name and age at most. Leave out the student’s surname and date of birth. Personal data is removed before the AI sees a message, and drafts refer to [Student] rather than a name.

  • No. Brightfold helps you prepare. Your IEP still lives where it lives today, and IEP Compliance gives you suggested fixes you can copy into it.

  • You and your IEP team. Brightfold drafts and flags, marks the gaps it can’t fill and shows the page behind every finding. It never decides for you.

  • A small group of districts using the IEP tools first and telling us what works. Your feedback decides what we build next, and pricing will come later.
