It is easy to input data, have multiple people work on an IEP, and to share the document with others. We have used Frontline for quite some time in my district and it seems to meet our needs very well. **What do you dislike about Frontline Special Education Management Software?** The one draw back I find is that I cannot toggle between 2 different IEP years at the same time. The system will get hung up. **What problems is Frontline Special Education Management Software solving and how is that benefiting you?** Frontline has enabled the district to have all of its IEPs and important special education documents in one centralized program and location. It allows those who need it access to individual students and their pertinent information. ### 2.

Frontline Education **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 31, 2020 **What do you like best about Frontline Special Education Management Software?** The software is easy to use and navigate.

Very Useful, Hard to Navigate **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 03, 2019 **What do you like best about Frontline Special Education Management Software?** I appreciate your different classes are grouped together and that you have a detailed account of who, what, and when accommodations and modifications are needed. You are given the number of accommodations and modifications are in your class, so if I have 30 students I can know 8 of them have an IEP or 504. **What do you dislike about Frontline Special Education Management Software?** It is pretty hard to navigate. In attempts to print the accommodations and modifications are hard unless you want to print the input boxes. Unless you use it all the time, it can be frustrating. **Recommendations to others considering Frontline Special Education Management Software:** Just making it easier to use for those who are regular education teachers versus the special education teachers. **What problems is Frontline Special Education Management Software solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use this to update each teacher on students needs. It allows us to know when we need to have another meeting, records who was at the meeting, what was changed, and how we can better serve and teach the student. ### 8. Easy and Convenient to Use **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tasha T. | English Teacher, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 27, 2019 **What do you like best about Frontline Special Education Management Software?** The software eliminates the need for copious amounts of paper copies of 504 and SPED plans. In addition, you can view and sign for each document which sends a notification to the sender. By using this digital platform, I am spending less time organizing printouts and walking across the school to deliver signed receipts. **What do you dislike about Frontline Special Education Management Software?** The access to your IEP's are a little confusing. If I want to go back later and view a document, I have to go to "notifications". It would be nice to be able to organize everything into a folder like I can do on my computer or Google Drive. **Recommendations to others considering Frontline Special Education Management Software:** While I cannot compare it to other software programs, the ease of use is exceptional, and it extremely useful for handling IEP's. **What problems is Frontline Special Education Management Software solving and how is that benefiting you?** The software allows for much faster delivery of IEP's. At my previous campus, the counselors had to print each individual plan, and we had to pick them up and sign for them. Last year, Frontline was only available for 504 plans, so it's great that I can now access my SPED IEP's too. It's like a one stop shop. ### 9.

The program looks old. Some of the screens need to be able to be linked so as to not keep repeating information. **What problems is Frontline Special Education Management Software solving and how is that benefiting you?** Individual plans can be developed. Informtion can be received from other companies. ### 12. Helps with thorough documentation for education plans **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 05, 2018 **What do you like best about Frontline Special Education Management Software?** Enrich helps me be sure that I complete all of the steps needed for educational plans.

I did not receive any formal training from my school district, yet was able to figure out how to create IEPs, input data collection for progress reports and report cards, as well as find information about parents to use daily. **What problems is Frontline Special Education Management Software solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am able to write my students IEPs in an efficient and clear way. This allows it all to be electronic and can let me archive it for years. ### 14. Special Education Teacher **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** McKenna J. | 6th Grade Math Teacher, Education Management, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 08, 2018 **What do you like best about Frontline Special Education Management Software?** I like that this software provides you with a template that makes writing IEP's easier. **What do you dislike about Frontline Special Education Management Software?** I dislike that it is limited to how you can write your IEP - would prefer that some boxes are able to fill in with your own input. **Recommendations to others considering Frontline Special Education Management Software:** I would recommend others to use Frontline IEP, based on number of students and frequency of writing IEPS. **What problems is Frontline Special Education Management Software solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am able to efficiently write IEP's, which are typically long documents, and publish those for coworkers and parents to see. ### 15. School-Based Occupational Therapist **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Christine A. | Occupational Therapist, Education Management, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 09, 2018 **What do you like best about Frontline Special Education Management Software?** I like that Enrich allows me to create groups of students on my caseload. **What do you dislike about Frontline Special Education Management Software?** Formatting text or inserting tables into reports is a nightmare. There is not simple default text and tables print out with large blank spaces that are not professional or easy to read. **Recommendations to others considering Frontline Special Education Management Software:** Save your reports or data in another place. Often Enrich will not save information if another user is editing the same report and you can easily lose information. **What problems is Frontline Special Education Management Software solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is a comprehensive software for IEPs and 504 plans. ### 16.

I have attended a training about this new program and some of the features. This seems like a great too to use to write eligibility reports, IEP, and progress reports. **What do you dislike about Frontline Special Education Management Software?** I found that the program is very user friendly. The training was very beneficial and is seems like tech support is very easy to access. **What problems is Frontline Special Education Management Software solving and how is that benefiting you?** We will be implementing this program in our district in the 2018- 2019 school year.

Efficient cloud based IEP software! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Justin M. | Co-op Member and Contributor, Photography, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2017 **What do you like best about Frontline Special Education Management Software?** I love that this software is cloud based. It's a vast improvement over Excent's Tera program which had to be installed locally. I am able to get work done wherever I have my laptop and a wifi connection. I also like the easy streamlined interface allowing me to quickly jump to any part of the IEP I am writing. The included standards bank is also helpful, again helping me to make better use of my time. **What do you dislike about Frontline Special Education Management Software?** The software seems to have frequent bugs, that cause saving or editing your work to be a challenge at times. It could be a problem on Excent's server, but these bugs have caused some frustration the past two years. **Recommendations to others considering Frontline Special Education Management Software:** Make sure that your state/district will be able to have their standards and data work well with Enrich. **What problems is Frontline Special Education Management Software solving and how is that benefiting you?** Efficient IEP writing while allowing real time team collaboration have been the greatest benefits of this software. ### 19.

It also helps to track review timelines and deadlines for when IEP documents need to be updated. **What do you dislike about Frontline Special Education Management Software?** It can be confusing to navigate at times and it does not keep the documents that are uploaded organized in a very clear way, so it can be hard to find certain documents that you are looking for. **Recommendations to others considering Frontline Special Education Management Software:** Definitely consider the value of using this service as a way to organize IEP documents, increase communication between service providers within the school as well as increasing communication between schools if children change schools. **What problems is Frontline Special Education Management Software solving and how is that benefiting you?** Creating individual plans for students in special education solving barriers to their education.

I like having e access to work away from paperwork or the office. ### 25. Great IEP Management Software **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 28, 2017 **What do you like best about Frontline Special Education Management Software?** eSped is well supported and widely used. When students transfer in from other districts utilizing eStar we typically have their IEP within 24 hours of request in a digital format that is editable for our next IEP meeting. This can drastically reduce the amount of time spent on data entry. **What do you dislike about Frontline Special Education Management Software?** Unfortunately, eStar does not provide many 'warnings' or reminders. While this can be a bonus in that we really need to review our paperwork with a fine tooth comb, it often results in needless errors that require ARD amendment agreements to be signed in order to correct. I wouldn't mind having a "HEY, you forgot to complete all components of the Autism Supplement!" warning. **Recommendations to others considering Frontline Special Education Management Software:** It is worth the cost. **What problems is Frontline Special Education Management Software solving and how is that benefiting you?** The time it takes me to complete an IEP from start to finish is down by a quarter to a half because this software streamlines everything and has fewer errors than other software I've used. ### 26.

Why do I need to complete two prior written notices for a re-eval? Also, writing an initial evaluation report is a PAIN. Why are graphs and photos so difficult to include? I get around this by using the snipping tool. But using this doesn't always look professional and it's difficult to get the sizing correct. **Recommendations to others considering Frontline Special Education Management Software:** There is a slow learning curve. **What problems is Frontline Special Education Management Software solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm not solving any problems. I'm just doing my job and completing due process paperwork. I do appreciate that all the information is right there and not contained on many papers that I need to track down. ### 28.

A great system for keeping track of a lot of student information in special education. **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 03, 2015 **What do you like best about Frontline Special Education Management Software?** IEP Direct is very user friendly. I've now used it in 2 states, and I'm very happy with this platform. It's an organized way to keep track of so much information about a student in special education. **What do you dislike about Frontline Special Education Management Software?** I don't like the slow response time that happens from time to time. I also don't like the frequent updates on evenings that I'm trying to use the website. **Recommendations to others considering Frontline Special Education Management Software:** Take some time to play around with the site to make sure you know how to use it! Also, when you make any changes, don't forget to click "save." **What problems is Frontline Special Education Management Software solving and how is that benefiting you?** This website allows its users to compile a lot of information about a student (incl. eligibility, goals/objectives, related services, sped hours, accommodations/modifications, triennial assessments, etc...). ### 41. IEP Direct user for over a decade **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Shannon S. | Special Education Coordinator, Education Management, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 02, 2015 **What do you like best about Frontline Special Education Management Software?** I appreciate that it is a data base which houses IEP's from previous years. I also like that all components are laid out. It is very easy to navigate for users unfamiliar with writing IEP's. **What do you dislike about Frontline Special Education Management Software?** I dislike the goals. I believe that IEP Direct has tried to change the goals to match common core and I do not feel that it has been successful. I usually write custom goals. **Recommendations to others considering Frontline Special Education Management Software:** IEP Direct should have a permanent webinar that guides users. Each year, I have to train users on how to write IEP's. Colleges and Universities do not seem to train their students on this software. Having sample IEP's that are written by IEP Direct and a webinar for new users would make the program even better. **What problems is Frontline Special Education Management Software solving and how is that benefiting you?** The benefits of IEP Direct are accessibility to previous IEP's. It allows us to track student classification data and previous goals. ### 42. eStar IEP - User Friendly Student Data Management **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Maria N. | Special Education, Accounting, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 18, 2015 **What do you like best about Frontline Special Education Management Software?** I really appreciate how user friendly esped is for its users.
