Should I Trust AI with My Child’s IEP?
Jun 16, 2025It’s a fair question, and the answer depends on how you use it. AI doesn’t replace experience, but it can enhance your advocacy when used wisely.
Use It for Strategy, Not Decisions
ChatGPT is excellent at helping you draft letters, clarify language, or summarize information. But it can’t tell you what’s best for your child or give you legal advice. Think of it as a drafting assistant, not a decision-maker.
Stay in Control
- Don’t copy/paste AI output without reviewing it
- Never enter personal or identifiable student information
- Use AI to reduce overwhelm, not to skip the hard thinking
The most effective parents don’t outsource their advocacy to AI, they use it to speed up their thinking, save time, and refine their message.
