Tempted to let AI do the heavy lifting? It’s possible... but not wise. Here’s why AI should assist, not replace, your IEP writing.

What AI Can Do

AI can help brainstorm goals, simplify jargon, or generate prompts for team input. Parents and advocates often use ChatGPT to turn raw notes into polished drafts.

What AI Can’t Replace

AI doesn’t know your child. It can’t replace data, experience, or your insights. A goal written entirely by ChatGPT might sound good but miss the nuances that matter—like behavior triggers, classroom environment, or sensory needs.

Use AI to refine, not define. It’s a tool. It's not a team member.
