Walk into the IEP meeting knowing what you're entitled to.
Most parents get a thick stack of paper and a few minutes to read it. CasePilot360 explains the IEP in plain English, shows you what you can ask for, and keeps every date and document in one place.
No credit card. The free plan stays free.

PARENT CONCERNSParent would like more reading support at home.
Your concerns belong in the record. Write them down.
Sample document, not a real student.
The district brings a team. You bring a folder.
A typical IEP meeting has a school administrator, a teacher, a specialist or two, and sometimes a diagnostician. They have done this many times. You have probably done it a few.
The school has to give you a notice of your rights, but it's a dense document, and it's hard to ask for something you didn't know existed.
CasePilot360 is built to close that gap. It is software, not a lawyer, and it tells you when it's time to bring in an advocate.
How it works
Three steps, in the order you'll need them.
Upload the IEP or 504 plan.
A PDF, a Word file or a photo. CasePilot360 reads it and explains it in plain English, with ideas you can try at home.
Get ready for the meeting.
Use the checklists, the questions to ask and five letter templates. Look up your rights in the guide while you prepare.
Keep the record.
Track goals with your own numbers. Keep every document in one binder. Write down what was decided, and the date.
Four rights worth knowing before the meeting.
You can ask for an independent evaluation.
If you disagree with the school's evaluation, you can request an independent educational evaluation at public expense. The district must pay for it or ask for a hearing to defend its own.
34 CFR § 300.502The school has to explain its decisions in writing.
When a district proposes or refuses to change your child's evaluation, placement or services, it must give you prior written notice that says why.
34 CFR § 300.503You don't have to sign at the meeting.
Take the draft home. Read it. Answer in writing when you're ready.
You can bring someone with you.
Parents may invite people who know your child or have special expertise, including an advocate.
34 CFR § 300.321General information, not legal advice. State rules differ, so check with your district or state education agency.

Common questions.
Is this legal advice?
No. CasePilot360 provides educational information and software. It is not a law firm, and using it does not create an attorney-client relationship. For legal advice about your situation, talk to a licensed attorney.
Does it work for 504 plans as well as IEPs?
Yes. The tools support both IEPs and Section 504 plans.
What states do you cover?
Universal Federal IDEA compliance across all 50 states. Enhanced local compliance is available for select states. State rules can differ, so confirm with your district or state education agency.
Is my child's information private?
Yes. It is private to your account. If you work with an advocate through their practice, only that advocate can see your records, and you choose which providers to connect.
What's the difference between the plans?
Free lets you try one IEP translation and read the rights guides. Prepared adds document storage, goal tracking and meeting prep. Prepared Pro adds document analysis and the FIE-to-IEP comparison.
What is CasePilot360 College?
It helps students with disabilities and their families move from K-12 support to college disability services, with a transition timeline, a documentation vault and accommodation request templates.
My advocate uses CasePilot360. How do I connect?
Use the link or join code your advocate gave you when you create your account. That connects you to their practice.
