A special education teacher feels unstructured and lacks a research-based method for differentiating small group instruction for kindergarteners at varying skill levels.

Workarounds Described

• plans an activity each day based on intuition rather than a structured framework
• uses self-created gamified lessons without knowing the science behind them

Implied Software Gaps

• Software that provides research-based, differentiated small group lesson plans with clear learning objectives
• Tool that links activities to specific student skill levels and tracks progress over time

DiffPlan Pro

DiffPlan Pro is a lesson planning app for K-2 special education teachers that generates structured, research-based small group activities aligned to each student's individual skill needs. It uses diagnostic data to recommend targeted exercises, tracks progress, and provides a library of gamified lessons with clear pedagogical rationale.
