AI Content Disclosure

IEPvocate is not a law firm. Nothing it generates is legal advice.

Every resource guide, meeting question, advocacy letter, communication template, modification recommendation, and chat response you see on IEPvocate is written by an AI model (Anthropic's Claude), not a licensed attorney or a certified special education advocate. Treat it as a well-informed starting point, not a final answer.

What the AI actually does

IEPvocate reads the IEP document you upload, extracts a structured summary (disabilities, services, goals, accommodations, strengths, and challenges), and uses that summary to generate the content you requested — a resource guide, meeting questions, a draft letter, or an answer to a question you asked in chat. It is generating text based on patterns in its training data and the specific facts you gave it, not applying legal judgment.

What it can get wrong

Laws, deadlines, and procedures cited (including anything about IDEA) can be outdated, state-specific in ways the AI didn't account for, or simply mistaken.
Resource recommendations (organizations, contact info, program names) are AI-generated and not independently verified by IEPvocate before being shown to you — confirm details before relying on them.
The AI does not know your school district's specific practices, your state's specific regulations, or the full history of your case.

What it will never claim

IEPvocate's AI is instructed never to represent itself as a licensed attorney, never to guarantee a specific legal outcome, and never to state something as a guaranteed legal entitlement rather than general information. If you ever see AI-generated content on IEPvocate that claims a professional credential, promises a specific result, or states something as absolute legal fact rather than general guidance, that is a bug — please report it to hello@iepvocate.com so we can fix it.

When to talk to a real professional

For anything with real stakes — a rejected IEP, a due process hearing, mediation, or a formal complaint to your state education agency — consult a licensed special education attorney or contact your state's Parent Training and Information (PTI) center. IEPvocate is a starting point for understanding your options and drafting communications, not a substitute for that kind of professional representation.
