Tools and templates for autism parents
When you are parenting an autistic child, the paperwork never stops. Workshop turns the hardest documents into a few quick taps: upload an IEP and get it in plain English, draft the email to your child's teacher, prep for the next meeting, or build a social story, behavior plan, or calming routine. Beacon writes the first draft so you can keep what fits your child and skip the blank page.

Frequently asked questions
- What is an IEP and how do I actually read mine?
- An IEP is the legal plan a school writes for a child who qualifies for special education. It lists goals, services, and accommodations, often in dense jargon. The IEP Translator pulls those pieces out and puts them in plain English so you know exactly what the school agreed to.
- Can these tools help me prepare for an IEP meeting?
- Yes. The IEP prep tool helps you walk in with your questions, concerns, and the changes you want to ask for written down, so the meeting does not move faster than you can think.
- What can I make in Workshop?
- Plain-English IEP breakdowns, school and teacher emails, IEP meeting prep, behavior plans, social stories, calming and sleep routines, and activity ideas. Each one is built around your child's name, age, and needs.
- Are the documents written for my specific child?
- Yes. You give Beacon a few details and it drafts something personalized. You always see a preview before anything is saved, and you can edit every line.
- Do I need to be an expert to use this?
- No. The tools are written for parents, not lawyers or teachers. You answer simple questions and get a clear, usable draft you can hand to the school or use at home.
- Is this legal or medical advice?
- No. Workshop helps you organize and communicate. It does not replace your IEP team, your attorney, or your child's doctor.
