USING AI TO HELP WRITE IEP GOALS
https://www.yourtherapysource.com/blog1/2025/02/20/using-ai-to-help-write-iep-goals/
Word of caution: Before using AI to assist with IEP development, it is essential to understand the fundamentals of IEP writing and the unique needs of each student. AI is not a replacement for professional judgment. It can assist in structuring content, but only when used by educators who have a strong understanding of special education and student needs.
It is also important to check your school’s policy regarding AI use. Some schools may have specific guidelines on whether and how AI can be used for developing IEPs or for using AI with students who have disabilities. Always follow your district’s policies to ensure compliance with privacy laws and ethical standards.

AI can be a powerful tool for writing IEPs, but it must be used responsibly. Educators must always review and refine AI-generated content to ensure it is appropriate, individualized, and legally compliant. AI can support the process, but the expertise of the teacher is what ultimately creates meaningful and effective IEPs.
