Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits—we work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. Doing that by hand for every family would take weeks each. This way the roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.

Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.

A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing, or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too—that's the only route to those supports.
