The prompt also requires observable, evidence-based state- ments rather than vague generalizations:
told participants, “IEP writing has become achievable [at that level].”Not because the technology dazzled with special effects, but because it proved accessible. With an AI platform, quality input data, and the KAIIT framework, hours of IEP writing can truly become minutes—and significantly fewer hours over the course of the year - while still producing quality. One educator whispered to her colleague, “This would save me hours every week.” Another approached afterward admit- ting,“I didn’t know we were allowed to do this.”You are allowed. You simply need to proceed responsibly, transparently, and with full professional oversight. FIVE RULES FOR SAFE, ETHICAL AI IEP WRITING 1. USE REAL DATA ONLY—NEVER ALLOW FABRICATION If AI invents information not present in your source documents, delete it immediately. Accuracy always trumps speed. 2. TREAT AI AS COMPILER, NOT DECISION-MAKER Your professional judgment remains final on every element: goals, placement, services, accommodations, and narrative de- scriptions.
• Instead of: “Steve struggles in class” • AI produces: “Steve’s current chemistry grade of F re- flects challenges with abstract concept application, as noted by Mr. Smith in the teacher input form” This grounding in specific, documented information cre- ates IEPs that withstand scrutiny and serve students more ef- fectively. THE CONFERENCE ROOM’S MOST POWERFUL MOMENT Midway through the demonstration, I paused to address the palpable anxiety in the room: “Don’t be scared of artificial in- telligence. Don’t worry about it. I’m going to help you use this tool.” What followed still resonates with me. When AI compiled multiple data sources into clean IEP paragraphs in mere sec- onds, then produced several complete sections within min- utes, the entire room shifted. The energy changed from skepti- cal curiosity to seriously engaged possibility. Compliant, high quality IEP writing has always been what we strive for, but time is our nemesis. With AI assistance, as I
