Teaching special needs students can be incredibly rewarding and fulfilling. But the paperwork and compliance requirements can also make it daunting and exhausting. Wouldn’t it be nice if teachers could take the time they spend working through the paperwork of IEPs, 504s, and reporting and put that time toward their students? That’s why we are so pleased to introduce you to Bright Sped by Lumen Touch. Bright SPED is a unique solution designed to get teachers back to teaching.

What Is Bright SPED?

Bright SPED’s user-friendly system allows you to easily build IEPs, communicate with parents and IEP team members, and support students. The entire premise of Bright SPED is to empower teachers and administrators to better manage the compliance and reporting side of special ed so that they have more time to deliver individualized education and reporting to maximize funding. The entire IEP, including all accommodations, are accessible at the click of a button, and updating an IEP is simplified. Bright SPED guides teachers and CSEs through the entire IEP process, including the development of annual goals.

Benefits of Bright SPED

Bright SPED makes it easier for everyone in the district to provide quality, individualized instruction to students with special needs. IEPs can be reviewed, updated, and printed from the Lumen Touch interface. Bright SPED:

  • Specializes in data driven reporting and tracking
  • Conducts error checks for accurate IEPs and compliance
  • Fully translates IEPs and other documentation into more than 90 languages
  • Helps schools achieve 100% compliance after audits
  • Provides an automated approval process for administrators
  • Continually updates the latest federal and state requirements

Bright SPED Improves Communication

Teachers are not the only beneficiaries of Bright SPED. There is a parent portal for SPED as well. This allows parents to have access to their child’s IEP, 504, and other documentation. They can electronically sign all documentation and communicate with the team. Parents can be confident that everyone who works with their child will be aware of the accommodations, as they can be securely disseminated to every teacher and support professionals who works with the student. But the big beneficiaries of Bright SPED are the students. By removing the burden of SPED paperwork from teachers’ shoulders, they can focus more on providing the individualized education the students need.
