Description
You're not supposed to feel this lost.
Navigating your child's IEP shouldn't feel like learning a second language while managing a full-time job. But for millions of parents and advocates, that's exactly what it is — confusing meetings, scattered notes, missed deadlines, and a system that wasn't built with families in mind.
I built IEP Compass for my own family. We have a nonverbal son with autism. One day he came home from school soaking wet, and no one could tell us what happened. That moment is why this app exists.
The IEP system, simplified.
— EVERY GOAL, MEETING, AND DOCUMENT IN ONE PLACE —
Stop hunting through three folders, two emails, and a notes app. Calendar, Daily Log, Documents, and Reports — all in one tap.
— MEET CLAUDIA, YOUR AI IEP ADVOCATE —
Claudia knows IEP law cold. Ask her anything: "What are my rights under FAPE?" "What does this teacher's note actually mean?" "Is the school allowed to do this?" She answers in plain English.
— WALK INTO EVERY MEETING READY —
Claudia analyzes your daily logs and turns them into a clean summary you can bring to your next IEP meeting. Patterns, wins, gaps — all in language the team will take seriously.
— RESOURCES THAT KNOW YOUR STATE —
State-specific programs, funding sources, and advocacy organizations. Built out one state at a time, with Washington live now and more coming.
— BUILT WITH PRIVACY FIRST —
Your child's data is yours. We don't link it to your identity. Period.
— FREE TO START —
Use the core tracker, calendar, and document storage free. Unlock Claudia and AI analysis with Claudia Pro.

Built by parents who needed it. Made for families who deserve better.
What's new (v1.0.4)
IEP Compass is here.
We built this app for our son Artnez — non-verbal, autistic, and one of the strongest people we know. After years of IEP meetings, emails, mediations, and still feeling like we were losing ground, we built the tool we wished existed.
This first release gives you everything you need to walk into any IEP meeting ready:
• Daily logs to document what's happening at school — because your child may not be able to tell you
• Document storage to keep every evaluation, notice, and email in one place
• AI-powered help from Claudia to draft advocacy letters, understand your rights, and prepare for meetings
• Smart goal tracking to monitor progress across IEP periods
• Reminders for deadlines, therapy sessions, and evaluations
• Full English and Spanish support — porque cada familia merece esta herramienta
This app was built in love, in late nights, in a living room — for every parent who has ever sat across from a table of 10 school officials and felt alone.
You are not alone. You have Compass.
