LISTEN TO THE PODCAST:
What leads to a successful long-term partnership between a district's special education program and its IEP & special education software vendor? Is there a secret sauce? Not really — but it turns out there are key ingredients that help ensure district goals are understood and met, year after year.

“There’s an expectation that your vendor has the bird’s eye view of what’s going on. Don’t forget, if you are working as a special education director, by and large you are a sole practitioner within that district. You are looking to your vendor as a partner to help you predict what’s going on down the line.”
