Six AI tools for the two halves of a 504 plan: drafting the accommodation language and the letter home, and delivering the accommodations once they are written. With dated pricing, free-tier limits and what the directory shows about Section 504 coverage.
Seven AI tools chosen by the evidence-based practice they produce: visual supports, social narratives, video models, text access, reading and writing support, and the write-up. With dated pricing, what two new state and district rules now forbid, and the finding that not one of the 138 tools in our directory claims to be built for autism.
Seven AI tools that fit a school OT caseload, matched to the jobs on your calendar: visual supports, fine-motor practice pages, present-levels prose, consult notes, goal data, handwriting accommodations and reading your state's rules. With dated pricing, the privacy conditions on each, and the one tool to keep away from student names.
Seven AI tools chosen for the SENCO's own job rather than the classroom teacher's, split between the statutory paperwork and what happens after the plan is written, with prices checked in September 2026, the safety conditions on each, and the line none of them should cross.
Six AI tools that fit a school social worker's caseload, from spotting the attendance pattern to writing the family letter, with prices checked September 2026 and a clear line, taken from a regulator's own AI policy, around the decisions no tool gets to make.
Seven AI tools chosen for the person who signs the compliance certification rather than the case manager who writes the IEP, sorted by the job each one does: reading the documents you are accountable for, drafting notices in a parent's native language, progress data, and assistive technology. Prices checked September 26, 2026.
Seven AI tools that fit a school psychologist's actual work, from the report draft to the family summary, with prices checked this week and a clear line around the one thing AI must never do, which is decide who qualifies.
Six AI tools that help a student working two or three grade levels below their age, sorted by the job you need done: leveled practice, a scaffolded unit, supervised practice, handwriting analysis, IEP progress data and free fluency work. Four of the six need no student login.
Six AI tools that fit a school SLP caseload, what each one costs as of September 2026, what each vendor actually declares about student data, and the four questions that decide whether a tool belongs anywhere near your caseload.
Six AI tools that carry the documentation load in Tier 2 and Tier 3 intervention, with dated pricing, what each vendor actually documents about student data, and the one decision no tool should make for you.
Paraprofessionals do the most individualised work in the building with the least training and no budget. Six AI tools that prep visuals, level texts, read aloud and collect IEP data, checked for FERPA, hosting and price, with three tools left out and the reasons why.
Six AI tools that lower the decoding barrier for dyslexic students without lowering the thinking, chosen independently from a directory of 90, with dated pricing, minimum ages, hosting and the FERPA and COPPA record US schools need before buying.
