Give your team more time for students

Paperwork is part of special education, but it shouldn't take more time than it needs to.

EmbraceIEP simplifies common IEP tasks and brings teams together in the same system, helping educators spend more of their working day on teaching, planning and student support.

Build meaningful goals

The AI-powered built-in goal builder uses prompts for timeframe, behavior, condition and criteria to help educators create clear, measurable SMART goals for individual students.

Work on IEPs together

Multiple staff members can work on the same IEP at the same time. One person can complete one section while a colleague works on another.

Collect signatures online

Free built-in e-signatures make it easier to collect and store parent consent without adding another tool or cost.

Get a head start on SMART goals with AI

Creating a strong IEP goal often starts with a blank page. EmbraceIEP uses AI to turn information about the student into relevant SMART goal suggestions, giving educators a useful place to start.

The educator always makes the final decision. You can review, change or build on every suggestion before adding a goal to the student's IEP.

Move from information to ideas

Use student information to suggest SMART goals, providing a relevant starting point for each learner.

Make goal writing quicker

You make the decisions

Review and edit every AI-generated suggestion. Educators choose what’s appropriate for each student.

Make compliance part of the process

Compliance shouldn't rely on staff remembering every requirement or checking every field by hand.

EmbraceIEP builds checks into the IEP process, helping educators complete required information as they work.

District leaders need information they can act on, whether they're checking timelines or looking at activity across the district.
