Teachers are given an unmanageable number of accommodations per student (often 20+ across 15 students) with no data on effectiveness, leading to impossible implementation and need for reform.

Workarounds Described

• Teachers try to manually track which accommodations each of 15 students need daily from paper IEPs/504s
• Schools rely on generic check-every-box approach with no data to guide selection
• Teachers aim to enforce rules but most students are exceptions, making consistency impossible

Implied Software Gaps

• A system that automatically extracts and prioritizes accommodations from IEP/504 documents to reduce teacher cognitive load
• A data-collection tool that measures whether accommodations are actually helping students achieve goals
• A scheduling and notification system that prompts teachers for the specific, time-bound supports each student needs during each class period
