Our Mission

"No parent should have to navigate their child's special education journey alone — regardless of their income, their zip code, or how many hours they have in a day."

IEPvocate was built to level the playing field. Whether you're a single parent working two jobs, a family in a rural town with limited local services, or simply someone who doesn't know where to start — we're here to help you find what your child needs.

How It Works

1
Upload the IEP
Securely upload your child's IEP as a PDF. It's never stored or sold.
2
Tell Us Your Location
Enter your city, county, or ZIP code so we can find resources near you — plus virtual options nationwide.
3
Get Your Guide
Receive a personalized resource guide with therapies, programs, support groups, and advocacy tips.
🔐
Your data never stays
We can't breach what we don't keep. Your child's IEP is processed in your session and immediately discarded. Download what you create — it's yours, not ours.

Julia has spent the last several years in special education classrooms — working directly with students who have autism, speech-language impairments, learning disabilities, and more. She holds a Master's in Education with Special Education certification.

Julia shaped how IEPvocate talks with families — warm, practical, and focused on your child. The recommendations themselves are AI-generated starting points, so always confirm details before relying on them.

This started with love.

I built IEPvocate because of one of the reasons I fell in love with my wife — her extraordinary compassion for children who are often overlooked or dismissed simply because they need a little extra help. Watching her pour herself into her students, advocating fiercely for kids that the system sometimes moves past too quickly, I knew her work deserved to reach further than one classroom.

We thought about the parents on the other side of those IEP meetings. The single parent sitting alone at a kitchen table at 11pm, staring at a document full of terminology they don't understand, wondering how they're going to find the right therapist, the right program, the right support — on top of everything else life is already demanding of them.

IEPvocate exists because every child deserves someone in their corner — and every parent deserves to feel like they have a guide.

We know what you're thinking.

"Is this just AI giving generic advice?"

No — everything is generated from your child's actual IEP, so it's specific to their disabilities, services, and goals. Julia, who has spent 5+ years in special education classrooms, helped design what IEPvocate focuses on and how it explains things. The content itself is AI-generated, so treat it as a strong starting point, not a final answer.

"What actually happens to my child's IEP?"

Your document is read once by our AI provider (Anthropic) to build your report. That first read includes everything in the PDF, like your child's name, birthday, and school. We then discard it: we never store it or keep a copy. After that first read, our tools work from a summary built to leave out your child's name, school, birthday, and contact details. Julia wouldn't have built this any other way.

"Can't I just use ChatGPT for this?"

You could — but a general chatbot doesn't start from your child's actual IEP, and it doesn't come with tools built for IEP meetings: meeting questions, advocacy letter drafts, communication templates, and responses for when the school pushes back. That focus is the whole point.

"Is it worth paying for?"

Try the free summary first — no account, no card, nothing to lose. If it helps, the full guide and advocacy tools are there when you're ready. If it doesn't, you've lost nothing.
