We consolidate and interpret your child's special education records — IEPs, evaluations, behavior plans, progress reports, emails, and notes — into a structured overview that clarifies timelines, surfaces measurable patterns, and helps you communicate with confidence.
Limited spots available · Free during beta · No special education background required
IEPs in one folder. Emails from the school in another. Evaluation reports in a binder you haven't opened in months. Notes from conversations saved in your phone. A concern you can't quite articulate.
Most parents aren't missing information — they're missing a way to see it all in one place. When records are fragmented, it's difficult to track progress over time, notice inconsistencies, or walk into a meeting feeling prepared.
Special Ed Untangled brings your documentation together, organizes it into a coherent timeline, and translates your concerns into professional language — so you can participate in your child's planning process with clarity instead of overwhelm.
You don't need a perfectly organized file system to get started. Upload whatever you have access to — formal documents and informal notes alike. The more context you share, the richer and more useful your report will be.
```Not sure what you have or where to find it? The intake form will walk you through common document types and where to look. Photos of handwritten notes are welcome — if you can read it, we can work with it.
```Straightforward and designed to take less than ten minutes on your end.
Share whatever records you have — formal documents, emails, communication logs, and your own notes. You don't need everything. Start with what you have access to.
Choose one or two concerns from a short menu. This tells the system where to focus its analysis so your report is built around what actually matters to you — not a generic summary of the documents.
You'll receive a plain-language report organized around your concern: a timeline of your child's records, flagged patterns and inconsistencies, translated language, and suggested questions for your next meeting.
As a beta participant, we'll ask you to tell us what was helpful, what was unclear, and what you wish it had done differently. Your input shapes the product directly.
Rather than producing a one-size-fits-all summary, Special Ed Untangled asks you to identify your primary concern. Your report is then built around that focus. Current concern options include:
You may select up to two concerns. If you're genuinely unsure, "Something feels off, but I can't tell what" is a completely valid starting point — that's exactly the kind of unease the analysis is designed to help you name.
Your structured overview is organized around your stated concern and written to be read quickly — even under time pressure.
Your records are organized chronologically so you can see how goals, services, and reported progress have evolved — rather than reading each document in isolation.
Clinical terminology, assessment language, and legal phrases are translated into clear English — without losing accuracy or important nuance.
The system looks across your documents for alignment — and for gaps. Where stated goals, reported progress, and delivered services don't add up, the report notes it.
Goals and provisions that are difficult to track or interpret are identified, so you know where to ask for specificity or documentation.
Based on your concern and what's in your records, the report includes a short, grounded list of questions you can bring into your next meeting — phrased professionally, so the conversation stays productive.
Special Ed Untangled is a clarity and preparation tool. It's built for a specific kind of need.
Special Ed Untangled is not legal advice. It does not tell you what your child is entitled to, whether the school is in compliance with the law, or what your legal options are. For those questions, you need a qualified special education attorney or advocate.
It does not replace a professional advocate. If you are navigating a complicated or contested situation — especially one involving significant disagreement or unmet needs — a trained advocate who can attend meetings and advise you directly is the right resource. We can help you find one if needed.
What it is: a clarity and preparation tool. Its purpose is to help you see your documentation clearly, understand what it says, and enter meetings organized and prepared. Most parents don't need a lawyer at every step — they need a clearer picture. That's what this is built for.
Special Ed Untangled is an early-stage tool. We're currently accepting a small number of beta participants — parents who are willing to use the system with their real documents and share honest feedback about what worked and what didn't.
What to expect: Access is free during the beta period. You'll receive the same report any future user would receive. In exchange, we ask for a brief follow-up conversation or survey about your experience. Your feedback is taken seriously — it directly shapes how this develops.
Because this is an early build, you may encounter rough edges. We'll be responsive. We're looking for participants who can work with some imperfection in exchange for early, no-cost access — and who want what they share to actually matter to the people building this.
We're keeping the initial cohort small so we can give each participant's feedback real attention.
Click below to complete the intake form. It takes about five minutes and helps us understand your situation before we send your report.
Your information will only be used to send access details and occasional beta updates. We don't share it. You can opt out at any time.
Yes. Documents you upload are used solely to generate your report. They are not shared with third parties, not used to train AI models on personally identifiable information, and not retained beyond what's needed to complete your analysis. A full privacy policy will be published before any paid tier launches. If you have specific questions about how your data is handled, please ask — we'd rather answer directly than have you guess.
No, and that's intentional. Special Ed Untangled is not designed to cast schools or districts in a negative light. It's designed to help you understand your documents more clearly and formulate better questions. Many concerns in special education come down to communication gaps, vague language, or misaligned expectations — not bad faith on anyone's part. If your records contain something that genuinely warrants closer examination, the report will surface it clearly and leave the next step to you.
That's very common. Start with whatever you have — even just your most recent IEP is a useful starting point. The intake form walks you through common document types and where to find them. Informal records count too: forwarded emails, a screenshot of a text exchange, a note you jotted down after a phone call. You don't need a complete or well-organized archive for this to be helpful.
Then select "Something feels off, but I can't tell what." That's not a fallback option — it prompts a specific kind of analysis: a broader review looking for inconsistencies, vague language, and gaps between what was planned and what's been reported. Many parents know something isn't sitting right before they can name what it is. That option exists for exactly that situation.
