Ready Binder helps parents prepare for, participate in, and follow up on their child's IEP (Individualized Education Program) meetings. BEFORE THE MEETING • Import your child's IEP draft — PDF, photo, or camera scan • Get a plain-English brief that explains what the IEP actually says • Receive suggested questions organized by category (services, goals, accommodations, placement, and more) • See a change summary when a revised IEP is uploaded DURING THE MEETING • Track question outcomes with one tap — answered, deferred, needs follow-up • Take inline notes on each question • Record the meeting with on-device speech recognition (Pro) — audio stays on your device, only the transcript is saved AFTER THE MEETING • Auto-generated debrief summarizes decisions, open items, and next steps • Follow-up task checklist so nothing falls through the cracks • Draft follow-up email ready to review and send • Export a branded PDF binder to share with your advocate or co-parent AI ASSISTANT (Pro) Ask questions about your child's IEP in a chat grounded in IDEA (the federal special education law) and your state's terminology. The assistant helps you understand — it never gives legal advice. DESIGNED FOR PARENTS Ready Binder is built by a parent, for parents. Your IEP data is yours — we don't share it with schools, districts, or advertisers. AI processing does not train general AI models. FREE TIER • One child, one full binder cycle (import → brief → questions → meeting → debrief → email → PDF export) • 3 Assistant messages to try the chat READY BINDER PRO • Unlimited children and binders • Unlimited Assistant chat • Live meeting recording with AI summary • Re-import revised IEPs and re-run the AI workflow anytime Ready Binder is an organizational and educational tool. It is not legal advice. AI-generated content is a starting point — always verify details against the source IEP and with your child's team.
