The problem

IEP compliance is complex,
high-stakes, and time-consuming.

Special education professionals are expected to navigate dense federal law and state administrative code — often without legal support.

Due Process Risk

A single compliance gap — a missing goal, an inconsistent service frequency — can trigger a due process complaint that costs districts thousands in legal fees.

Time Pressure

Case managers write dozens of IEPs per year under tight timelines. Manual compliance review is exhausting and error-prone when you're managing a full caseload.

State Variation

Federal IDEA requirements are complex enough. Every state adds its own administrative code on top — different transition ages, alternate assessments, and documentation standards.

Three steps to a complete
compliance analysis.

1

Select your state

LucidIEP applies both IDEA 2004 federal requirements and your state's specific administrative code — whichever standard is stricter.

2

Upload the IEP

Drop in any PDF. LucidIEP reads the entire document before analysis — building an inventory of services, goals, PLAAFP sections, and team signatures.

3

Review your report

Receive a scored, section-by-section analysis with specific CFR citations, identified gaps, and practitioner-ready recommendations. Print or save as PDF.

What LucidIEP analyzes

Built by a special education
practitioner, not a lawyer.

LucidIEP doesn't just check boxes. It cross-references every section of the IEP to catch the inconsistencies that matter most.

Cross-document consistency

Catches service-goal mismatches, PLAAFP gaps, frequency discrepancies, and signatures without corresponding services.

State-specific analysis

All 50 states plus DC. Transition ages, alternate assessments, and state administrative codes applied automatically.

Rigorous scoring

Each section scored 0-100 with clear thresholds. A service-goal mismatch cannot score above 74 — by design.

Print-ready reports

Every report is formatted for printing or PDF export. Bring it to team meetings, share with administrators, or keep it for your records.

What gets checked
Present Levels (PLAAFP) — baseline data, disability impact, evaluation currency
Measurable Annual Goals — components, alignment to PLAAFP, service coverage
