You know something's wrong with your IEP.
Here's how to prove it.
Hi, I'm Mary. I was a special ed teacher and administrator for 15 years. I saw the same mistakes in every IEP. Now I've built a tool that finds every legal error in your child's plan and tells you exactly where they are.
100% Private & Secure
Start Your Forensic IEP Scan
This is more than a checklist. You'll get a full report that shows every missing part of your child's plan.
What You Get:
142-Point Forensic Error Scan
The engine scans for 142 specific legal, procedural, and substantive errors that schools rely on you to miss.
The Rules and Laws
The report shows you exactly which law the school is breaking. Now you can say "This is the law" at your meeting.
Pre-Written Advocacy Letter
A formal, professional letter for the school. It cites the specific laws and requests immediate corrections.
Private and Safe for Your Family
IEPs Are Designed to Be Confusing
It's not just you. The system is built this way—and it's working exactly as intended.
Schools use technical words on purpose
PLAAFP, FAPE, LRE— they make it hard for parents to understand what's legally required.
They hope you won't know what's required by law
Most parents don't know that missing signatures or vague goals are actually illegal violations.
Even good teachers miss critical errors
IEP teams are overwhelmed. They're not trying to hurt your child—they just can't catch everything.
Parents are left guessing and feeling dismissed
You know something's wrong, but you can't prove it. So the school keeps saying everything's fine.
The 142-Point Forensic Deep Dive
A manual review takes hours and misses details. My system runs 142 specific legal checks across every single page, then cross-examines the findings for contradictions and patterns.
3-Layer Deep Dive + Cross-Document Examination + Senior Advocate Synthesis
Layer 1: Structural Scan
The system reads every single page and runs 142 specific legal checks. It finds direct quote violations and missing requirements across 8 forensic categories.
REAL FINDING:
Page 8: Prior Written Notice (PWN) is missing required parental consent signature. This violates 34 CFR §300.503, which requires written notice to parents before any changes to educational placement or services.
Impact: Without proper consent documentation, the school cannot legally implement this IEP.
Layer 2: Cross-Examination
The system cross-references every section. Does the PLAAFP need match the goal? Does the goal match the service minutes? If the IEP contradicts itself, we catch it.
REAL FINDING:
Page 4: The PLAAFP section identifies "significant deficits in reading comprehension" but there is no corresponding measurable annual goal addressing reading comprehension. This violates 34 CFR §300.320(a)(2), which requires measurable annual goals for each area of need.
Impact: Your child's documented reading struggles have no plan for improvement or way to measure progress.
Layer 3: Strategic Synthesis
A Senior Advocate AI reviews all raw findings and synthesizes them into the strongest legal case patterns. We prioritize findings that prove denial of FAPE and validate your specific concerns.
REAL FINDING:
Pages 4 & 7: Goal #2 requires specialized instruction in written expression, but the Services page (page 7) lists zero minutes of special education services for writing. This is a "Service Gap" violation under 34 CFR §300.320(a)(4).
Impact: The school documented a need and created a goal but provided no actual help to achieve it.

Start Your Forensic IEP ScanAbout Mary: 15 Years Inside the System
I know how schools work because I was one of them.
I started as a special education teacher. I loved my students, but I hated how broken the system was.
After a few years, I became an administrator. I wrote thousands of IEPs. I sat in hundreds of meetings. And I saw the same mistakes over and over again.
Missing data. Vague goals. Service gaps. It wasn't that schools were trying to hurt kids. They were just overwhelmed, understaffed, and rushing through paperwork.
But those "small" mistakes add up. Kids don't get the help they need. Parents feel dismissed. And nothing changes.
So I left. I became an advocate. I started helping parents fight for their kids.
And I got tired of finding the same violations in every single IEP I reviewed.
That's why I built this tool. I can't sit in every IEP meeting. But this system can check every IEP for the exact errors I've been finding for 15 years.
"You shouldn't have to become an expert to protect your child. This tool does that for you."
Credentials
- 15 years in special education (teacher → administrator)

I Turn Your "Gut Feeling" into Concrete Evidence
You know your child isn't getting what they need. I find the exact legal gaps that prove you're right.
"The school says my daughter is 'making progress,' but she still can't read basic signs in public. I know something is being overlooked, but I don't know how to prove it."
Forensic Validation Complete
Not the Right Class for Your Child (34 CFR §300.114)
"The goals on page 4 don't use real numbers to track progress. This breaks the rules. I'll help you write a letter to demand a special expert to fix this."

Stories from Parents like You
"The audit identified 14 technical violations I didn't even know existed—including a service minute discrepancy that gave us 3 extra hours of therapy per week. Incredible depth."
"I used to feel scared in meetings. Now I walk in with my report and I feel like the most prepared person in the room."
"I love this. It explains WHY the school is wrong using the law. Knowledge truly is power for our family."
