About
Lily is building a modern platform for special educators to streamline IEP (Individualized Education Program) progress tracking. Today, special education teachers and service providers often manage progress updates through fragmented spreadsheets, manual notes, and time-consuming documentation workflows. This creates administrative burden, makes it harder to maintain consistent records, and takes time away from supporting students. Lily simplifies this process with an AI-powered workflow designed specifically for special education teams.
Product
Lily is an AI-powered IEP progress tracking tool built for special educators. It helps teachers and providers capture student progress more efficiently, keep documentation organized, and generate clearer progress records over time. Instead of relying on scattered notes and manual workflows, educators can use Lily to streamline reporting and stay on top of each student’s goals more precisely and efficiently.
