Informed by Dr. Kristen's method, delivered by AI. Educational guidance, not legal advice — you decide what to do.
Dr. Kristen C. Eccleston
Founder of IEPVue · Special education expert & advocate
I hold a doctorate in Mind, Brain, and Teaching from Johns Hopkins University and have spent two decades in special education. I run my own advocacy practice, standing beside families through evaluations, eligibility meetings, and IEP and 504 disputes. IEPVue puts the same expert read I give my private clients — what a plan really says, what the school is required to do, and what to ask for — into the hands of every parent who shouldn't have to feel outnumbered in that room.
Johns Hopkins University is Dr. Eccleston's alma mater. Dr. Eccleston and IEPVue are independent and are not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Johns Hopkins University.

What documents can I upload?
You can upload PDF and Word documents — your student's current IEP or 504 Plan, evaluation reports, or a draft plan. Guide users can upload multiple documents for a unified analysis.
How do I save my session?
Use the Export button after any session to save a summary. You can upload that summary in a future session so the app remembers your history — without storing anything between sessions.
