First AI-Powered SPED Platform Helps Districts Achieve 100% IEP Compliance

Streamline slashes paperwork by 90%, boosts speech outcomes by 32%

SANFORD, N.C., July 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As special education teams across the country face rising caseloads, staffing shortages, and compliance pressure, a new AI-powered platform is stepping in to help. Streamline, created by Better Speech, is the first AI-driven special education management tool that reduces IEP paperwork time from 3 hours to just 10 minutes—freeing educators to focus on students, not documentation.

With Streamline, Speech Therapists saw a 50% increase in direct therapy time, leading to a 32% improvement in student speech outcomes. The platform's built-in SLP Helper™ also delivers personalized speech practice for students and engages families in the process.

"We're not just saving time—we're restoring purpose," said Ranan Lachman, CEO of Better Speech. "AI enables districts to deliver the individualized support students deserve while improving team retention and satisfaction."

Tackling the Compliance Crisis

More than 7.3 million students currently receive special education services under IDEA. Yet many districts still rely on manual paperwork and lack visibility into student progress. Disputes related to IDEA noncompliance are up 65%, showing a growing need for scalable, tech-enabled solutions.

Streamline directly addresses these issues by:

• Ensuring 100% IEP compliance through intuitive dashboards and built-in monitoring
  
  
• Cutting paperwork by 90% via AI-generated reports, session notes, and IEPs
  
  
• Increasing 1-on-1 Therapy - with the built-in AI SLP Helper
  
  

"Paperwork used to take me hours daily," said Lenora Edwards, M.S. CCC-SLP, a school-based therapist in Pennsylvania. "Streamline gives that time back—reducing burnout and helping us deliver better student outcomes at scale."

Built to integrate with major SIS systems, Streamline adapts to existing district workflows and requires minimal training—making it ideal even for smaller or understaffed teams.
