My IEP Hero is an AI-powered educational advocacy platform for parents of children with special needs. Upload your child’s IEP and get instant, plain-English analysis of goals, services, accommodations, and IDEA compliance — then connect with a certified advocate when you need a human in your corner.
Parents and guardians of children ages 3–22 with (or who may need) an IEP or 504 plan, and certified special education advocates who use our professional CRM and tools. Available to families in all 50 U.S. states.
Start free with no credit card. Parent plans are Premium at $29/month with a 14-day free trial, and Hero at $99/month (less when billed yearly). Advocates use the platform free, with a 4% marketplace fee on invoices raised through it (~7% all-in with Stripe). Compare plans on our pricing page.
My IEP Hero combines AI-powered analysis with a network of real, certified advocates, so you get instant insights and human expertise in one place. We analyze your child's IEP for red flags, compliance gaps, and missed services, then connect you with a verified advocate if you need someone in your corner. Other platforms offer one or the other. We do both.
Upload your child's IEP, even a scanned PDF. Our AI reads it and surfaces every red flag, compliance issue, and missing service in plain English. You'll see which goals are weak, what accommodations may be missing, and whether the document meets federal IDEA requirements. Most analyses finish in a minute or two.
Yes. All documents and personal information are encrypted at rest and in transit. We follow strict privacy protocols and we share your child's IEP only as our Privacy Policy describes: with advocates you choose to connect with, and with the service providers that run the platform, such as the AI service that reads it. We take FERPA compliance seriously and your data is never used to train AI models.
Advocates on My IEP Hero are independent special education professionals. Each profile shows their credentials, specialties and any parent reviews, so you can check them before you connect.
Traditional advocates charge $100–$400 per hour, which most families can't afford. My IEP Hero lets you start with AI tools for free, and connects you with advocates at rates far below the market rate. We believe every child deserves great advocacy, not just those who can afford it.
Yes. While we're built around IEPs, our analysis tools, document vault, communication tracker, and advocate network all support 504 plans. Our AI understands Section 504 accommodations and can flag gaps just like it does for IEPs.
Create a free account. No credit card required. Once you're in, add your child's profile, upload their IEP or 504 plan, and you'll have your first AI analysis in a minute or two. From there you can explore the other tools and prep for your next meeting. Advocate matching is on the Hero plan.
