You walked in feeling lost. You walk out with a plan.
The IEP, the 504, the eval, the letters, the meetings, the rights — every piece of your child's special-education life, organized into one workspace built for the seat you're sitting in.
“The IEP is yours. The records are yours. The voice is yours.”
The vault
Every record. One place. Yours forever.
Upload IEPs, 504s, evaluations, work samples, discipline notices, correspondence — Gardenia keeps them encrypted, searchable, and exportable. Soft-delete with a 30-day grace period. Audit log every read.
AES-256 encryption at rest
Sign-in-required signed download URLs (60-second TTL)
Tag by document type — IEP, 504, IEE, psych eval, medical, work sample, more
Bulk export your entire vault as a ZIP — any time, no permission needed
Upload the IEP and Gardenia walks the document end-to-end — extracts goals, services, accommodations, modifications, the next meeting date, and the questions you should bring. Every line is grounded in the source text. No fabrication.
Goals tagged measurable / vague / unclear
Services with frequency, setting, provider
Auto-detected annual review deadline
Three sharp questions for the next meeting — anchored to your specific document
Coming-soon AI · Manual mode today
While AI summaries are paused for the public beta, you can fill in the same fields yourself in 10 minutes — and Gardenia uses them for every downstream feature.
Deadlines
The clocks the school keeps. Now you have them too.
Annual review. Triennial reevaluation. Consent response. Prior Written Notice response. State complaint timelines. Manifestation determination. Every legal clock is a deadline tile with reminders that land 60, 30, 14, 7, 3, and 1 days out.

Meeting prep
Walk in with a folder. Walk out with a plan.

Per-meeting packet with attendees + agenda
Pre-loaded questions tied to your child's vague goals
Outcome + next-action capture afterward

The seven rights
One bloom for every right you have.
IDEA gives you seven specific procedural rights. Most parents never learn them. In Gardenia, each is a workspace tile with a plain-English summary, the legal citation, and a button to draft the letter that exercises it.
1
Prior Written Notice
34 CFR § 300.503
Before the school changes anything in your child's plan, they tell you — in writing.
2
Informed Consent
34 CFR § 300.9
No evaluation, placement, or record-sharing without your signed, informed okay.
3
Access Records
34 CFR § 300.613
Every record, every eval, every email about your child. Yours within 45 days — by law.
4
Due Process
34 CFR § 300.507
The formal legal clock. For when mediation and state complaints didn't resolve it.
5
Stay Put
34 CFR § 300.518
While a dispute is being resolved, your child stays in their current placement. Period.
6
Mediation
34 CFR § 300.506
Free, voluntary, confidential. A neutral mediator helps you and the school find common ground.
7
Discipline Information
34 CFR § 300.530
Your child's disability cannot be the reason for the discipline. The manifestation meeting protects that.
The next meeting is closer than you think.
Free forever for the first child, the first three documents, and one letter a month. Upgrade only when the work gets bigger.
