## SEIS Reviews
  ### 1. SEIS Review

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mary Erica A. | Technogy Integration Leader, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 26, 2020

**What do you like best about SEIS?**

SEIS is very helpful program in writing IEPs. It has a references and couments library if there are other papers needed in addition to the IEP itself. I like that it is more user-friendly now compared to frous years ago, when it is difficult to check if the user has made mistakes.

**What do you dislike about SEIS?**

SEIS has just added its new E-Signature feature, and although the affirming part is easy after obtaining signatures, there is no way for educators or case managers to see the signed page unless all the team members are done signing. It also has a 7 day period for the team to sign, and that is pretty short. Also, if a user makes a mistake in the paperwork, helpfek will usually redirect you to your LEA or district, which can be frustrating especially when trying to meet a deadline.

**Recommendations to others considering SEIS:**

SEIS is an amazing platform for writing IEPs. It is a great tool during distance learning because now, they have added their E-Signature feature. I used another paid platform to obtain electronic and legally-binding signatures at the beginning of distance learning, and although SEIS took a while to implement its first phase, it is very much comparable and on top of it, it’s free.

**What problems is SEIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Before, case managers need to hand write every IEP, however, due to SEIS, writing IEPs has never been easier. The is also a goal bank available, and user can also create and manage their own goal banks for convenience.

  ### 2. Seis

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 25, 2020

**What do you like best about SEIS?**

Website is fairly easy to navigate. Able to work collaboratively on student's file. Anyone working with the student is able to access current information on the child, especially in the cases where students move out of district or into our district.

**What do you dislike about SEIS?**

System goes down a lot sometimes during critical times so creates stress for working collaboratively on inputting information into student's file. This sometimes has us working on files up to the last minute before meetings with families.

**What problems is SEIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Students files can be uploaded for anyone who's working on the file to see. Problems we are solving is that staff is able to help each other with goals to ensure were telling the same story about the child.

  ### 3. SEIS database review

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 30, 2019

**What do you like best about SEIS?**

Having access to students' records and history of their educational journey as they have qualified for special education.

**What do you dislike about SEIS?**

Navigating through the students' IEPs can be confusing and finding attachments can be challenging.

**Recommendations to others considering SEIS:**

Get training to get familiarized with all the features

**What problems is SEIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are using less paper. We are able to access records without having to go to a physical records room location.

  ### 4. Easy, quick, and reliable!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 22, 2019

**What do you like best about SEIS?**

SEIS has easy access to individual IEP pages, student caseload, and important documents. The home page reminds you of any upcoming meetings and/or unaffirmed IEPS. If you make an error, the system alerts you so you can always be in compliance!

**What do you dislike about SEIS?**

I wish there was a way to preview your IEP pages before sending it to the print center. 

**What problems is SEIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Creste students’ IEPs for their annual and triennial meetings. Benefits include saving time and frustration as well as increase productivity. 

  ### 5. SEIS

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 17, 2018

**What do you like best about SEIS?**

SEIS allows me to easily access student information, IEPs, documents, and forms in an organized manner.

**What do you dislike about SEIS?**

Very recently, SEIS updated the website to a new version called SEIS 2.0.  I am still learning how to navigate the new platform. Sometimes it is difficult to see the whole page appropriately, depending on your web browser/computer settings.  

**Recommendations to others considering SEIS:**

Easily manage your case load by using SEIS.  It also helps your organization and planning.

**What problems is SEIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

SEIS allows me to easily manage student data and documents. I can log-in to SEIS and access everything within minutes (student's address or phone number, IEP's (past and present), create progress reports, update IEP's, access forms and documents, etc).  If I did not use SEIS, it would take a lot of effort from myself to organize everything.  SEIS is very beneficial to all users, as it makes it easy to access, update, and share information.

  ### 6. SEIS Is Magic 

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 30, 2018

**What do you like best about SEIS?**

SEIS has allowed me to write IEP easier. I like the ability to share only the required information with colleagues and not need to make hard copies.

**What do you dislike about SEIS?**

Sometimes SEIS does undatea at 9-10 pm when I need to work on IEP’s late, which I shouldn’t do at home anyway. 

**Recommendations to others considering SEIS:**

It’s a tool worth trying to save special education teachers time and resources.

**What problems is SEIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have easy access to student files online. No need to carry a folder or dig through papers when I can view the file from my phone or laptop.

  ### 7. SEIS in education

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 24, 2018

**What do you like best about SEIS?**

The reports that it provides. The ease of viewing all uploaded members.

**What do you dislike about SEIS?**

No way to schedule ftp uploads through the software. Need to create your own scripts to export and push the csv.

**Recommendations to others considering SEIS:**

The upload/download is not automatable

**What problems is SEIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Management of SPED students

  ### 8. Special education case management 

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Helena J. | Special Education Teacher, Education Management, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 31, 2017

**What do you like best about SEIS?**

Computer access to forms and access to entire caseload in one spot.

**What do you dislike about SEIS?**

The amount of clicks need to complete forms.

**What problems is SEIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Collaboration with team for special education needs.

  ### 9. User friendly language

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Marina F. | School Psychologist, Education Management, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2017

**What do you like best about SEIS?**

SEIS is relatively user friendly compared to similar programs. It uses simple, clear language, and there is plenty of space to input narrative information. 

**What do you dislike about SEIS?**

The format of the documents/pages can be confusing, especially when it is printed. 

**What problems is SEIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The program is well aligned with best practices for writing IEPs. It is easier for parents to understand the documents compared to other special education IEP writing databases. The language sounds less technical and the format allows educators to put in meaningful information rather than just checking boxes. 

  ### 10. SEIS Great IEP organizer

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 21, 2017

**What do you like best about SEIS?**

The ability to keep all files in order.  The ability to have each service provider input thier own notes,  goals,  information. 

**What do you dislike about SEIS?**

Having to go to print to view documents. 

**What problems is SEIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

A more collaborative way to execute IEP meetings. 

  ### 11. Can be more aesthetic, but pretty straight forward.

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Phoebe C. | Speech Language Pathologist, Education Management, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 10, 2017

**What do you like best about SEIS?**

I use it everyday so I know my way around, but it's quick to grasp.

**What do you dislike about SEIS?**

The user interface can be more aesthetically pleasing and font can be bigger. 

**Recommendations to others considering SEIS:**

Playing around with it and being hands on is really the best way to learn SEIS. 

**What problems is SEIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I like that it tells you about CASEMIS errors that I often wouldn't catch with the human eye. It's quick and easy to affirm and attest IEPs. 

  ### 12. cut and dry IEP software

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jennifer K. | Speech Language Pathologist, Education Management, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 08, 2015

**What do you like best about SEIS?**

SEIS is a relatively streamlined approach to creating/maintaining IEPs.  Sections of the IEP are clearly outlined and differentiated.  Everything is pretty cut and dry.

**What do you dislike about SEIS?**

It can be difficult when a team would like to work on the same parts of an IEP, and the program does not allow it.  For example, if the teacher is updating present levels, no other member of the IEP team has access to that information until the teacher logs off.  If someone forgets to log off, everyone is shut out.  The same will happen for the Educational Setting page.

Also, you can access the IEP from the Demographics page, but once you are in the future IEP for updating, you must navigate out of that page to get back to the demographics, which would have historical IEP information.  Often times, this leads the educator to open secondary tabs to check back on information, which might lead to data loss if you update but do not save the most current page.  It is an issue I have heard of happening multiple times.

Only educators who have been added as a service provider can access a student's IEP, which might serve to prevent privacy violations, but in my district only one person can add or remove a service provider, and sometimes you are unable to work on an IEP in the meantime because you have to wait to be added to the list.  There have been times where I have had to log using another educator's information because I had not been cleared as a service provider in time.

**What problems is SEIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

SEIS allows multiple members to work on an IEP in the privacy of their own classroom/office.  This is a time saver.

  ### 13. SEIS is a great software program for all Special Education Schools.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 17, 2015

**What do you like best about SEIS?**

SEIS provides centralized online management and storage of IEPs and Special Education Student Records.  It collects and stores all IEP, and demographic information for each student from the time the student was entered into SEIS, on what we call the Student Record. This record along with all historical IEPs and Progress Reports are kept in SEIS for the entire time the student is in the system. These IEPs, student data, and history can be transferred from district to district.  This works well with districts that have this software.

**What do you dislike about SEIS?**

That districts that do not use the system are unable to access the student information, IEP, and demographics.  This can have implications on the student by not having historical information on a student being transferred to another school for adminstration and teachers to review.

**What problems is SEIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am not currently solving business problems, and realize the benefits of using this program.  In addition to the State reports, SEIS has a report generator which allows users to search for students based on a variety of fields and show any number of fields in the results. Any custom reports you make can be saved for re-use so you don’t need to rebuild them time after time.

  ### 14. Seis is great!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jerika F. | Teacher of the Severely Handicapped, Primary/Secondary Education, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 24, 2015

**What do you like best about SEIS?**

Very simple to use when wiritng IEP's for students and carrying over information that has stayed the same.

**What do you dislike about SEIS?**

Not always knowing if you are on a current IEP or future IEP.

**Recommendations to others considering SEIS:**

SEIS is a great way to write IEP's and keep your students information all in one place.

**What problems is SEIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am completing IEP's for students. It is much better than handwriting.
