Words

from

educators

People outside of special education don't realize what a beast it is to schedule IEP meetings and how long it takes to do special education clerical work. If you can free up time to focus on the kids than focusing on paperwork, it makes a huge difference. It took us weeks to build excel and data tracking tools just to do our job. Playground solves that problem instantly.

What is Playground IEP?
Playground IEP is a powerful special education caseload management tool that enables schools to build a staff culture of support and collaboration for students with IEPs. With Playground IEP, general education staff are equipped with the information and tools needed to provide intentional instruction designed to meet students needs.

More specifically, Playground IEP sits between the SIS and IEP software, eliminating the need to manually create spreadsheets. It provides teachers with actionable IEP snapshots, a testing accommodation generator, and automates the IEP meeting and reevaluation scheduling process.
What problem does Playground IEP solve?
Caseload Management is regulatorily complex and mostly manual, with few tools designed to efficiently manage and communicate the caseload. Vital student information is generally disorganized, not secure, and communication is not standardized between SPED staff and gen ed teachers. Administrators have little transparency and insight into compliance and SPED performance within their school.
How does onboarding for Playground IEP work?
At Playground IEP, we prioritize in-person onboarding for both Special Education teams and General Education staff.
Is Playground IEP another IEP writing software?
Playground IEP in a complimentary tool to your IEP writing software. Playground IEP is a new class of inclusion and caseload management and software. Playground IEP sits between the SIS and IEP software, eliminating the need to manually create spreadsheets to manage the caseload.
