Whale Shark Software

EC-AID (Exceptional Children Accommodation & IEP Data) is a solution designed for special education data collection. Our goal is to reduce the burden of paperwork on special education teachers, improve collaboration with general education teachers and specialists, and provide comprehensive reporting to teachers and administrators. Unique program features promote data collection by all team members, and a centralized system produces insightful real-time reports that allow for quick identification of student progress and areas of need.

• Track IEP goal progress – notifications and goal measurement instructions ensure that all team members are collecting data consistently and with fidelity across settings; also supports tracking objectives
• Track accommodation use – record whether students accept or decline their testing and classroom accommodations, and verify with an optional signature capture
• Track service delivery – ensure students are receiving their services and evaluate the need for compensatory education; service providers and itinerant teachers can also track travel time and mileage for detailed record-keeping
• Track behavior incidents – record student behaviors in a customizable ABC format; our unique correlation engine produces reports that illustrate trends and uncover hidden cause and effect
• Reporting – robust student reports show student progress to parents and inform instructional decisions by teachers, while Administrator reports help ensure compliance. Our reports have enabled schools and providers to successfully demonstrate IEP goal progress monitoring and accommodation delivery in state audits and litigation.
• Platform – collect data using a web browser or through native mobile apps (iOS and Android)
