Frequently Asked Questions

What makes My IEP Hero different from other services?

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.

How does the AI IEP analysis work?

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.

Is my child's information secure?

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.

Who are the advocates on the platform?

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.

How do you make advocacy affordable?

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.

Do you support 504 plans too?

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.

How do I get started?

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.
