Methodology. This is a planning estimate based on the workflow inputs you choose: meeting prep, progress reporting, parent updates, and coordination time. Hourly cost defaults to the U.S. SPED-teacher loaded average (BLS 2024). Adjust for your district. Annual estimate assumes a 36-week instructional year. Plan recommendations match our published pricing tiers; final pricing is confirmed in your demo.
Beyond the hours
Where the savings comes from

Guided prep reuses evidence teachers already logged.

The calculator estimates time saved when daily notes, goal data, family communication, accommodations, and FBA/BIP records feed the same evidence packet instead of being rebuilt before every meeting. And what you get back isn't just time. It's a consistent, dated record your team can review when a plan or placement is questioned.

Turn the estimate into a district conversation.

Use the calculator as a starting point, then compare it with your current workflow: who hand-tallies data, who translates notes, how often progress reports are rebuilt, and what your district needs for compliance review.

What work does the calculator include?

It models time spent on hand-tallying behavior data, building progress reports, translating parent notes, recreating lost charts, and coordinating with support staff.

Is this a guaranteed savings claim?
