Transition planning has always required careful thought, strong data, and meaningful collaboration. Educators gather information about student strengths, interests, preferences, and support needs; then they translate that information into measurable postsecondary goals and aligned transition services. The work is important; it is also time-consuming.
We are excited to introduce the AI-Powered IEP Builder, a new feature designed to work alongside the Transition Planning Tool. This release represents an important step forward in how transition assessment data can directly inform IEP development.
Connecting Transition Assessment Data to IEP Transition Goals
For years, the Transition Planning Tool has helped educators capture student voice and evaluate readiness across multiple transition domains. Those results support conversations and planning; however, translating assessment data into clear, compliant, and individualized IEP language often requires additional time and effort.
The AI-Powered IEP Builder helps close that gap.
Using student-specific results from the Transition Planning Tool, the system generates draft language aligned to measurable postsecondary goals, transition services, and related IEP components. The output is grounded in the student’s actual transition assessment data; it is not a generic template. Each draft reflects the strengths and areas for growth identified through the assessment process.
Responsible AI in Special Education and Transition Services
Artificial intelligence is being introduced rapidly across education. We believe AI in special education must begin with strong, structured data.
Over the past five years, the Transition Readiness Toolkit has collected consistent, usable transition data across agencies and educational settings. That foundation matters; it ensures that AI-generated IEP language is anchored in meaningful student information rather than broad assumptions.
The AI-Powered IEP Builder does not replace educator expertise. Instead, it uses validated transition data to support the drafting process while keeping professional judgment central.
Streamlining Data-Driven IEP Development
The IEP Builder is intentionally designed as a drafting tool. Educators remain fully in control of reviewing, editing, and finalizing all language. The purpose is to reduce documentation time while improving alignment between transition assessment results and IEP transition goals.
When used together, the Transition Planning Tool and the AI-Powered IEP Builder create a more connected workflow. Student voice informs assessment; assessment informs draft language; draft language informs team discussion and final planning. This integrated process strengthens compliance, clarity, and individualized focus.
Strengthening Pre-Employment Transition Services Through Data
Effective Pre-Employment Transition Services require more than documentation; they require alignment between evaluation, planning, and service delivery.
By connecting transition assessment data directly to IEP development, the AI-Powered IEP Builder helps ensure that transition goals and services reflect real student needs. This release reflects our ongoing commitment to strengthening transition planning through practical tools, responsible use of technology, and deep experience in transition services.
