01
Present levels
Organize available evidence to support development of clear, individualized PLAAFP documentation.
BUILT WITH TEXAS SPECIAL EDUCATION IN MIND
A workflow designed around
Texas educators.
SpedLink helps special education teams organize student evidence, stakeholder input, and documentation development through a workflow designed around the realities of Texas schools.
THE SPEDLINK APPROACH
01
Evidence first
Start with available student information rather than unsupported assumptions.
02
Stakeholder input
Bring teacher, parent, student, and case manager information into the documentation process.
03
Structured development
Support a connected path through PLAAFP, vision, goals, and related documentation.
04
Educator review
Keep professional judgment, editing, approval, and final educational decisions with the educational team.
TEXAS-FOCUSED WORKFLOW
Documentation support should fit the way special education teams actually work.
SpedLink is designed to help Texas educators bring relevant information together before final documentation reaches the district system of record.
02
Student needs
Connect documented strengths, needs, performance, and functional information throughout the workflow.
03
Goals
Support goal development that remains connected to identified student needs and available evidence.
04
Supports & services
Keep accommodations, services, teacher input, and supporting information visible during documentation review.
EVIDENCE-CENTERED DOCUMENTATION
Keep documentation connected to what is actually known about the student.
SpedLink is designed to help educators use available information consistently across the documentation process while avoiding unsupported assumptions.
✓
Evaluation information
Relevant findings and existing student information.
✓
Teacher observations
Classroom performance, supports, and documented needs.
✓
Parent perspective
Priorities, concerns, context, and family input.
✓
Student voice
Preferences, perspective, interests, and goals.
✓
Case manager information
Notes, supports, services, and relevant documentation.
✓
Educational performance
Available academic and functional student information.
CONNECTED DOCUMENTATION
Each part of the IEP should inform what comes next.
SpedLink uses a structured workflow so documentation can be developed in context rather than as disconnected sections.
1Evidence
Gather the available student information.
→
2PLAAFP
Describe present performance, needs, and impact.
→
3Vision
Keep longer-term direction connected to student needs.
→
4Goals
Develop measurable goals connected to identified needs.
→
5TEKS
Align recommended TEKS with student goals and coursework.
→
6Review
Educators review and approve before final use.
AN IMPORTANT DISTINCTION
SpedLink supports the documentation process. It does not make the ARD committee's decisions.
SpedLink helps educators organize information and develop documentation for professional review. Eligibility, placement, services, goals, accommodations, and other educational decisions remain the responsibility of the appropriate educators and ARD committee.
✓Educators review the documentation
✓Educators can edit before final use
✓Professional judgment remains with the team
✓The district maintains its system of record
A SEPARATE REVIEW LAYER
Add an independent documentation review with IEP Verify.
IEP Verify reviews completed IEP documentation against available evidence and a Texas-focused review framework, helping educators identify material gaps before final review.
