Legally Defensible Accommodation Logging
New Feature Preview — April 2026
The Case That Changed Special Education Documentation
The Ruling
A general education teacher was held personally liable for failing to implement a student's IEP accommodations. The court found that lack of documentation was itself evidence of non-compliance — no paper trail means no protection.
The Shield Principle
Every accommodation provided must be timestamped, role-attributed, and legally cited to create an impenetrable audit trail that protects teachers, paras, and districts.
“The teacher's failure to document accommodation delivery was indistinguishable from failure to deliver accommodations.”
— Doe v. Withers, legal principle
A streamlined, guided workflow that captures every legally required data point — without slowing teachers or paraprofessionals down.
