Turning Progress Reports into New Goals with AI

ai in special education Jul 23, 2025

If your child didn’t make progress last year, the new IEP goals shouldn’t be copy-paste versions of the old ones. AI can help you revise based on real data.

Start with the Progress Report

Pull language from the report: “Student is making limited progress in reading comprehension, especially identifying main idea.”

Then prompt ChatGPT: “Write a new SMART IEP goal for a 7th grader based on this statement. Include two benchmarks and a rubric-based tracking method.”

Why It Works

AI gives you a measurable starting point. You provide the context and parent insight. Together, it’s faster and more strategic than starting from scratch.

Use this process every time a new IEP is due. It turns vague progress summaries into a clear, actionable plan forward.
