Every student with an IEP, learning alongside their peers
The Kami family of special education software brings accessible instruction, independent accommodations, and progress-monitoring data together for special education teams.
The challenge for special education leaders
Running special education and related services well means meeting the standards of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) while giving every student real, everyday access to instruction.
Accommodations that depend on the moment
Read aloud, simplified text, or writing support usually requires an adult to be available right away. When that support isn’t there, a student either falls behind or waits.
Evidence scattered across systems
Work samples and progress notes live across drives, emails, and personal folders instead of one shared view, which slows down IEP updates and makes audit readiness harder.
Compliance and access, at the same time
Meeting IDEA standards and giving every student the same lesson as their classmates, independently, are two different jobs that special education teams have to do together, every day.
Compliance is the floor. Belonging is the goal.
How the Kami family supports special education work
Kami App
Optical character recognition turns a scanned worksheet into text a screen reader or switch access device can use. Students work from the identical assignment as their classmates instead of a separate accommodated file.
Book Creator
Students respond in text, voice, video, or drawing instead of writing alone, which matters when an IEP goal is about demonstrating understanding rather than spelling or handwriting.
Kami Companion
Companion follows students across every website, assignment, and research task with read aloud, simplified and summarized text, and talk-to-text. This way, the accommodations an IEP specifies don’t depend on a teacher or aide delivering them in real time.
Kami Coach
Rather than handing over a worked solution, Kami Coach offers hints and check-ins grounded in a student’s own work. So math intervention specialists and related-services staff see where a student’s reasoning breaks down, not just whether the final answer is right.

Accommodations that build independence
Kyle oversees special education at Peak Prep, where the goal is for students to succeed on their own. Accommodations that once relied on an adult now work independently.
Example workflows
Enhance your planning, grading, and assessment processes so you have more time for the important things.
Completing an assignment independently
A related-services staff member imports a reading assignment into Kami App and turns on Read Aloud, Simplify, and Summarize. Once the student understands the material, they answer using talk-to-text. Spelling and handwriting were the barrier, not comprehension. No aide needs to sit beside the student.
Demonstrating understanding
For a student whose IEP goal is about showing what they know, not handwriting or spelling, a teacher assigns a Book Creator response instead of a written one. The student narrates their answer, adds a drawing, or records a short video. The finished page becomes part of a portfolio the team can point to at the next IEP meeting.
Accommodations that travel with the student
A student opens a research task on a website. Kami Companion provides read aloud, translation, and talk-to-text there, so the accommodation isn’t limited to documents a teacher builds directly.
