Special education staff need to find meaningful tasks for students with IEPs when their assigned 1:1 student is unavailable, but lack a system to match available students with staff needs in real-time.

No tool exists to coordinate temporary reassignment of special education staff to other students during gaps, leading to wasted time or ad-hoc decisions.
