Problem
Special education teams spend excessive time on administrative tasks like writing IEPs, rebuilding progress reports from memory at term end, and re-entering the same student data across multiple systems. This fragmented workflow leads to inconsistent IEPs, missed deadlines, compliance exposure, and reduced time for actual student support.
Solution
Waypoint provides a unified platform where special education teams can write goals, log notes, and track progress in one place. Its research-backed AI engine generates data-backed, coherent, and implementable IEPs, while progress reports write themselves from the data already in the platform. The system connects specific IEP goals to curriculum strategies and resources, ensuring accommodations are consistently implemented in the classroom. Automated compliance tracking surfaces issues well before IEP meetings, and a single unified record allows every team member to access and contribute to student data.
Target Audience
Special education teams in K-12 schools, including teachers, case managers, and administrators who write IEPs, track student progress, and manage compliance documentation.
