The advocate in your pocket — for every IEP meeting.
SENTINEL·IEP is a connected app for parents and advocates. Real-time meeting analysis. A curated knowledge library on disabilities, accommodations, and your federal rights. A letters generator for PWN requests, FBA requests, and complaints. Anonymous community reports about what districts are doing. And an AI help bot that knows the app and the law.
You walk in alone. They walk in with a team.
School districts come to IEP meetings with special education coordinators, administrators, and sometimes legal counsel. Most parents come with notes, worry, and a lot of love — but not the federal law memorized.
That knowledge gap is real. And districts, even well-intentioned ones, sometimes make statements that don't align with what IDEA actually requires. Most parents don't know it's happening.
SENTINEL·IEP closes that gap. Not just in the meeting — before, during, and after. A library of cited content so you understand what the law says. A meeting analyzer that flags issues in real time. A letters generator for when you need to put something in writing. A community of other parents sharing what they've seen.

- Verbal promises get made and forgotten
- Hard to catch vague, unmeasurable goals
- No reference for what you should be asking
Prepared
- Real-time flags when statements may conflict with law
- Full timestamped transcript of everything said
- Cited Knowledge Library at your fingertips
- Letters generator for follow-up in writing
More than a meeting recorder. A complete IEP toolkit.
SENTINEL·IEP is built around five things that, together, give you what advocates spend years learning: the law, real-time analysis, the documents to back you up, the community to learn from, and help when you need it.
Knowledge Library
37+ curated, cited entries covering all 13 IDEA categories, common accommodations, evidence-based interventions, IEP components, and procedural rights. Sourced from CPIR, OSEP, the IRIS Center, and other authoritative federal and peer-reviewed material.
Live meeting analyzer
Transcribes the meeting as it happens and flags statements that may conflict with IDEA, FAPE, or FERPA in real time. Every flag is timestamped. Everything is saved.
Letters generator
Produce Prior Written Notice requests, evaluation requests, FBA requests, state complaints, and other letters as editable Word documents — with the right federal citations and a clean structure.
Document Q&A
Load your child's IEP, evaluations, and PWN letters. Ask questions in plain English and get answers grounded in your actual case documents — not generic advice.
Community Reports
Anonymized accounts from other parents and advocates about how their districts have handled IEP meetings, refusals, and accommodations. Identifying information is stripped automatically. Patterns emerge.
AI Help Bot
Type a question — about the app, about your rights, about a procedure — and get an answer drawn from a curated help library and the Knowledge Library. Cited. With a fallback to a human when the bot can't help.
Plus: MDR Mode, medication tracker, time tracker (Advocate tier), multi-student profiles, session archive, hardware diagnostic.
Cloud-first when you have signal. Resilient when you don't.
SENTINEL·IEP is a connected app. The Knowledge Library, AI Help Bot, Letters generator, and Community Reports all need internet. But meeting analysis falls back to local processing if your school's WiFi craters — so a bad signal doesn't kill your meeting.
Before the meeting (at home, with WiFi)
Upload your child's IEP, evaluations, and any relevant letters. Browse the Knowledge Library for entries relevant to your situation. Run a full Case Analysis if you want a multi-model review of where you stand.
During the meeting
Open your laptop and press Start. SENTINEL listens, transcribes, and flags statements that may conflict with federal law. Your transcript is saved with every timestamp. If the WiFi drops, the analyzer keeps working locally.
After the meeting
Generate a follow-up letter (PWN request, FBA request, eligibility disagreement, state complaint) directly from your notes. Archive the session. Share what happened to Community Reports if you want others to learn from it.
