š Hi Product Hunt! I'm the maker of SPED Lesson Planner.
Why I Built This
Special education teachers spend 5-8 hours every week creating individualized lesson plans for students with IEPs (Individualized Education Programs).
It's not just about making lessons - every plan has to align with specific IEP goals, include legally required accommodations, meet IDEA compliance standards, and be documentation-ready for progress monitoring.
Generic lesson planning tools don't work for SPED. They don't understand IEPs, disability categories, or legal compliance. So most SPED teachers (450,000 in the US) still create plans from scratch or use outdated templates.
What This Does
SPED Lesson Planner generates IEP-aligned, legally compliant lesson plans in under 5 minutes.
You input your student's IEP goals, disability category (autism, learning disability, etc.), and required accommodations.
We generate a complete individualized lesson plan, aligned objectives with measurable outcomes, appropriate modifications, data collection forms, and IDEA-compliant documentation.
Who This Helps
Primary: Special education teachers drowning in paperwork. Also: School admins trying to reduce teacher burnout. And: New SPED teachers learning IEP compliance.
Why Now?
25% of SPED teachers leave the profession within 5 years (burnout). 98% of school districts struggle to hire qualified SPED teachers. 7.5 million students need individualized instruction. AI can finally handle the legal complexity and individualization.
