Plain-language decode
Every section of the plan, explained the way a trusted friend would — side by side with the original text.
Built for parents, not lawyers
Understand the IEP clearly. Advocate with confidence.
IEP Path translates your child’s IEP or 504 plan into plain language, flags what’s weak or missing, and prepares the letters and questions you need — so you walk into every school meeting impossible to brush off.
Made for parents navigating IEP & 504 plans
Maya's reading goalDecoded
The plan says
“Student will demonstrate improved phonemic awareness with 80% accuracy in 4 of 5 trials as measured by teacher-charted data.”
What it means
Maya practices hearing word sounds. She should get them right 8 times out of 10. Her teacher keeps a chart — ask to see that chart.
Grounded in the actual law
Every answer cites the law it stands on.

Citations link to the actual regulation text — IDEA 34 CFR Part 300, Section 504, and FERPA. If we can’t cite it, we don’t say it.
How it works
Three calm steps to clarity
No learning curve. Do these three things — IEP Path does the heavy lifting.
Add the plan
Paste the text or upload the PDF the school gave you. It's processed privately and discarded — we keep only what you confirm.
Read it in plain words
Every section translated side by side with the original — with red flags on anything that's weak or missing.
Walk in prepared
Get the letters to send, the questions to ask, and every legal deadline on a calendar — computed, never guessed.
Designed for how advocacy actually works
Understand the plan. Spot the gaps. Put it in writing. Never miss a deadline.
Red-flag analysis
Vague goals, missing service minutes, no progress measurement — we point at each one and link it to a fix.
Letters that get answers
25+ letter types drafted from your child’s actual plan, ready to review, print, and send.
Deadlines you can trust
Annual reviews and evaluation timelines computed by code from federal rules — never guessed by AI.
Why this exists
You shouldn’t need a law degree to read your child’s plan.
IEPs are written in legal and clinical language that buries what matters. Most parents leave the meeting nodding — and realize at the kitchen table that they couldn’t say what actually changed. That’s the moment IEP Path is built for.
- 20+ pages decoded in minutes

I finally understood what ‘80% accuracy in 4 of 5 trials’ actually meant for my son. I walked into the annual review with three specific questions — and they fixed the goal.
Maria G.
Parent of a 3rd grader
The red-flag check caught that speech minutes were never written into the service grid. One generated letter later, it was fixed in two weeks.
Danielle R.
Parent & PTA member
It drafts the letter, cites the actual regulation, and keeps every deadline on a calendar. It’s like having an advocate on call.

Father of two IEP students

Questions parents ask
Answers before you start
Is this legal advice?
No. IEP Path is general information and document preparation — it helps you understand your child's plan and prepare, but it isn't a law firm and creates no attorney-client relationship.
Does it replace my advocate or lawyer?
No — it makes you ready for them. IEP Path helps you walk in informed and put your requests in writing. For a formal dispute, your free state Parent Center or an advocate is still the right call — and you can securely share your records with one.
Is my child's information private?
Your records are yours. We never sell your data, your document is processed and discarded — we keep only the fields you confirm — and you can export or delete everything anytime in Settings.
Is it really in Spanish?
Yes. Every tool, decode and rights answer works in English and Español — switch anytime. It's built bilingual, not machine-translated as an afterthought.
What if my IEP is a scanned image?
Text-based PDFs work best. If yours is a scanned image, copy the text out and paste it in — that gives the cleanest decode.
How long does it take?
Decoding a full plan usually takes about a minute. After that, your deadlines, letters and trackers are ready whenever you need them.
General information and document preparation — not legal advice.
Walk in prepared.
IEP Path gives you the clarity, the evidence, and the words — so the meeting goes the way it should.
