Reference dialog

A four-tab browser for the app's reference material — accommodations, IDEA categories, the knowledge library, and community reports.

Click Reference in the top nav. The dialog opens with four tabs across the top:

• Accommodations — a searchable database of common IEP accommodations with category filters
• IDEA Categories — the 13 federal eligibility categories with definitions and examples
• Knowledge Library — the curated, cited content library (covered in its own page)
• Community Reports — anonymized reports from other subscribers (covered in its own page)

Accommodations tab

Browse and search accommodations by disability category, functional domain (executive function, sensory, etc.), and free-text. Each accommodation card shows what it is, when it helps, and how it's typically written into an IEP.

Contribute a new accommodation

Click + Submit New in the top right of the Reference dialog. Fill in the form and submit. The submission goes through two-model AI moderation (Claude + Gemini) — both must approve before it appears publicly. If either flags it, it goes to an admin queue for human review.

IDEA Categories tab

The 13 federal eligibility categories defined in 34 CFR §300.8: Autism, Deaf-Blindness, Deafness, Emotional Disturbance, Hearing Impairment, Intellectual Disability, Multiple Disabilities, Orthopedic Impairment, Other Health Impairment (OHI), Specific Learning Disability (SLD), Speech or Language Impairment, Traumatic Brain Injury, and Visual Impairment.

For deeper coverage of each category — eligibility criteria, common indicators, assessment expectations, questions to ask the team — open the Knowledge Library tab and look under "Disability deep-dives."
