Special education students in middle school lack individualized support and make little academic progress due to reduced pull-out time, no one-on-one instruction, and unmastered basic skills.
Current SPED model relies on pull-out and one-on-one in elementary, but in middle school these supports disappear; no tool exists to provide individualized remediation within the general classroom for students who lack foundational reading and writing skills.

Implied Software Gaps
- No pull-out or one-on-one time leaves SPED students without individualized instruction; software could provide adaptive, self-paced practice.
- Teachers lack tools to track and support SPED homework completion; software could include automated reminders and parent notifications.
- Unmastered basic skills compound each year; software could diagnose skill gaps and provide targeted remediation.
