Why Datability

Progress monitoring teachers actually keep up with.

Datability exists because the hard part of progress monitoring was never collecting the data. It was keeping it organized, seeing what it means, and getting it into a report on time.

Side by side

The way it’s usually done, and the way it could be.

Where goals live Spreadsheets and paper: Retyped from the IEP into a spreadsheet, one tab per student Datability: Pasted, screenshotted or uploaded once, then sorted for you
Logging a session Spreadsheets and paper: Find the right sheet, the right row, the right column Datability: Open the goal, enter the score, done, from any device
Seeing the trend Spreadsheets and paper: Build a chart. Fix the chart. Rebuild it next month Datability: Charted the moment you log, against the goal’s criteria
Knowing who’s slipping Spreadsheets and paper: Usually at the meeting, or just before it Datability: Flagged on your dashboard when data stalls or a student needs support
Progress reports Spreadsheets and paper: Copy, paste, format, print, the night before Datability: One click: a PDF for a goal, a student or a whole class
District oversight Spreadsheets and paper: Ask every teacher to send their files Datability: One admin view across every teacher, with an audit log

01

Works with the IEP system you already have.

Frontline, IEP Direct or anything else: copy the goal text, take a screenshot, or export a spreadsheet. Datability pulls out the area, criteria and schedule, and you review every goal before it’s saved. Nothing to replace, and no IEP system password to hand over.

02

Goals you can actually measure.

A vague goal makes every data point an argument. The $9 Goal Audit checks up to 10 goals for the parts that make them measurable, scores each one, and writes a clearer rewrite for anything that’s missing. No account needed, and your results are saved for a year.

03

Built by someone who sits at the IEP table.

Datability was built by Mike Radicone, a special education teacher for 24 years. Every screen is shaped by the same question: will a teacher with a full caseload actually use this on a Tuesday?
