Does Iris draft final IEP goals?

No. Iris drafts goal language and present-level summaries as a starting point. Every draft requires review, editing, and approval by the teacher of record and the IEP team before it is used in a finalized IEP document.

Does Iris need student names or ID numbers?

No. Iris drafts from descriptive notes about the student's current performance and the domain area. No names or ID numbers are required. Describe the student by performance level and context, not by identity.

Is the first Iris draft free?

Yes. One free draft, no card required. After the free draft, Iris is $19 per month.

What does Iris need to draft IEP goal language?

The domain area (reading, math, communication, behavior, etc.), a description of the student's current performance level, and the targeted outcome or skill. Iris drafts SMART-formatted goal language and a present-level summary from those inputs.

Can Iris replace a special education professional's judgment?

No. Iris drafts language to speed up the writing process. Special education judgment, compliance requirements, and team decisions are yours. Iris is a drafting tool, not a compliance tool.

Hi. I am Iris. Give me the domain area, a description of the student's current performance level, and the targeted skill or outcome — and I draft SMART-formatted goal language and a present-level summary. Structured, specific, editable. A starting point for your IEP team, not a final document.

I draft from what you describe. The compliance decisions are yours.

IEP goal language and present-level summaries drafted from your notes before Thursday's meeting. You edit, the team reviews, and the document stays yours.

SMART Goal Drafts

Goal language formatted to SMART criteria: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-bound. Drafted from your performance-level description, not from templates.

Present-Level Summaries

A structured present-level of performance paragraph drafted from your notes about the student's current skills and challenges.

Goal Refinement

Iris can redraft a goal you are not satisfied with until the language is right. Describe what is missing and Iris revises.

Domain Coverage

Reading, math, writing, communication, behavior, social-emotional, and adaptive skills. Tell Iris the domain and the performance context and it drafts to fit.

What I draft. What I do not touch. What I need from you.

What I draft

SMART-formatted IEP goal language from your performance-level description and targeted outcome. Present-level of performance summaries from your notes. Revised goal language when you tell me what is not working in the first draft.

All output is plain text, editable, and structured for review by your IEP team before it becomes part of any document.

What I do NOT draft or claim

I will not make compliance determinations. I draft language. Whether a goal meets your district's IEP requirements is a professional and legal judgment that belongs to you and your team.

I will not assess a student. I draft from what you describe. I do not evaluate eligibility, make diagnoses, or determine appropriate services.

I will not finalize or submit anything. Every draft requires team review and approval before it enters any official IEP document.

I will not replace your professional judgment. You know the student, the family, and the legal context. I draft language; you make the decisions.

What I need from you

The domain area (reading, math, communication, behavior, etc.)
A description of the student's current performance level — without names or ID numbers
The targeted skill or outcome you want the goal to address
Any specific measurability requirements your district uses

Important: IEP drafts require professional review

IEP documents are legally binding under IDEA. Iris drafts language to reduce your writing time — it does not replace the professional judgment of the teacher of record, the special education coordinator, or the IEP team. All goal language drafted by Iris must be reviewed, edited, and approved by the appropriate personnel before inclusion in a finalized IEP.

Eight goals to write before Thursday. Iris drafts the language. You spend the time on the judgment calls.

Drafting SMART IEP goal language from scratch takes 20 to 40 minutes per goal when you are starting from a blank page. Iris drafts it in under 5. For eight goals before Thursday's meeting, that is 2 to 3 hours returned to the work that actually requires a special educator.

A note on data and IDEA compliance

Iris processes the text you type. No student names, disability categories, ID numbers, or personally identifiable information are required — describe the student by performance level and domain area only. We strongly recommend not entering any information that identifies a specific student.

Content you enter is sent to OpenAI to generate the draft. OpenAI's API terms do not allow training on your data. We do not store your session content.

FERPA and IDEA compliance are your responsibility, not ours. This tool is a drafting aid, not a compliance tool. All output must be reviewed by qualified personnel before use in any IEP document. Full data practices →
