“For my paras and for my teachers, fastIEP has been a huge blessing. It has made their workday a lot smoother. It has helped them. It has reduced their stress because they know that they are getting their documentation done. The paras went from writing everything to clicking a button…. so, that makes a huge difference -- huge! And it eases my stress because I know that we are getting the data that we need. ”

“Some of our teachers who are the ones who I would say struggle with technology, were really excited with your interface and thought that it was very easy to manipulate.”

“I’ve never had that kind of relief before, that all of the documentation and the data were being collected because I would have to go back and check it and it would be in 100 different places…. Now all I have to do is log into fastIEP and it's all right there.”

“My teachers are completely overwhelmed with paperwork. And so when I saw fastIEP, I thought, this is what I've been looking for, for about 30 years.”

“This program has helped me track data for 2 of my more challenging students. It is easy to track their performance. Adding anecdotal information helps me recall the incident, or circumstance under which the data was collected.”

Frequently Asked Questions

fastIEP is a specialized progress monitoring platform designed to help educators track, analyze, and report on IEP goal progress with clarity and consistency. It streamlines data collection, automatically generates visual reports, and gives teams a real-time view of student performance, so they can make informed decisions and stay compliant with confidence.

fastIEP is built for special education teams — teachers, related service providers, and administrators — who are responsible for tracking and reporting on IEP goal progress. It is especially valuable for districts looking to ensure consistency, reduce teacher workload, and gain visibility into student outcomes across schools.

Most IEP systems focus on compliance and document creation. fastIEP fills the critical gap that comes after—the day-to-day tracking of student progress. It does not replace your existing IEP system; instead, it enhances it by making progress monitoring simple, consistent, and actionable.

Yes. fastIEP is designed to meet FERPA requirements for protecting student education records. While HIPAA typically does not apply to school-based education data, we follow strong data protection practices aligned with industry standards to ensure student information is secure. We never sell or share student data with third parties.

fastIEP follows industry best practices for data security, including encryption in transit and at rest, secure cloud infrastructure (AWS), and strict access controls. We also provide documentation such as DPAs and security overviews to support district IT and compliance reviews.

fastIEP uses a simple and reliable CSV-based data import process to sync with your SIS or IEP system. This approach avoids the complexity of live integrations while still ensuring your student, staff, and goal data stay up to date.

fastIEP is priced per district on an annual subscription basis, with pricing based on the number of students with IEPs. We do not charge per user or per seat. Contact our team for a custom quote based on your district’s size and needs. Most districts find that fastIEP pays for itself within the first semester through time savings alone.

Yes. fastIEP regularly works with districts through standard procurement processes, including vendor approvals, contracts, and data privacy agreements. Our team is experienced in supporting IT, legal, and compliance reviews.

We don’t offer open-ended free trials. Instead, we provide guided, hands-on walkthroughs so your district can see exactly how fastIEP works in practice. This ensures a focused, high-value evaluation aligned to your district’s needs. Schedule your district demo here.

Implementation is fast and efficient. Most districts are up and running within a few weeks, depending on data readiness. Our team guides you through setup to ensure a smooth and successful launch.

Every fastIEP subscription includes:

  • Onboarding training for administrators and teachers
  • On-demand video training library
  • In-app help center
  • Dedicated Customer Success Manager
  • Email and chat support
  • Annual check-in and renewal review

Yes. fastIEP can import key data such as student information and IEP goals from your existing system. While it does not replace your full IEP record, it ensures all relevant goal data is available for accurate progress monitoring and reporting.

Currently, fastIEP is purchased at the school or district level. However, with the upcoming fastIEP 10.0 release this summer, individual teachers will have streamlined AI-driven tools to easily import their goal data and SIS student data. The 10.0 release will also include built-in training and support, enabling teachers to purchase and use fastIEP on their own—even if their school or district has not yet adopted it.
