DOCUMENTS

Upload the notice. See what it is really worth.

IEPs, IHSS notices, denial letters: they decide your child's services, and they are written to be hard to read. Wayfound reads them for you, in plain language, and shows you the hours and dollars you may be leaving behind. Then it ranks what to do next, starting with the action worth the most. And when a notice contradicts itself, like two different deadline dates, Wayfound flags the conflict instead of guessing.

IEP ANALYSIS

Your IEP, read the way an advocate reads it

Upload an IEP and Wayfound goes through it page by page. In this 5-page sample, it raises a red flag, an IEE request the district has not responded to after 7 weeks, and an orange flag where the parent disagrees with the ESY denial and the transition plan. It counts the services, goals, concerns, and actions so nothing gets lost in the appendices.

  • Flags, not just summaries. Red flags for timelines that have slipped, orange flags for disagreements worth putting in writing.
  • A meeting checklist. A "Before Your Next IEP Meeting" list so you walk in prepared instead of reactive.
  • Check off what is resolved. Review page by page, mark the concerns you have handled, and generate an email to the school with the items still open.
  • Figures checked. A verification badge confirms the numbers in the analysis match the numbers in your document.

DENIAL DECODER

Every line of the notice, in hours and dollars

A Notice of Action tells you what the county decided. It rarely tells you what that decision costs your family. Wayfound breaks a sample IHSS notice into every service category, meal preparation, bathing and grooming, protective supervision, and more, with the authorized hours and the monthly dollar value of each.

  • On track or below profile. Each category is tagged so you can see at a glance which authorizations look low.
  • Gaps in real money. The largest gap in this sample: +100-195 hours, worth $1,940-$3,783 a month, for protective supervision.
  • Cited, not guessed. The analysis cites W&I Code section 12300 and San Diego County IHSS wage rates, so you can check the math yourself.

CROSS-DOCUMENT CHECKS

Your documents check each other

The county and the school district do not talk to each other. Wayfound does. When you upload a new document, it reads it alongside everything else in your library and looks for contradictions worth raising.

  • Gaps surfaced automatically. In this sample, a GAP IDENTIFIED insight notes the IHSS notice documents severe tactile sensitivities and 15 hours a month of specialized meal preparation, while the IEP provides no OT services.
  • Sources you can verify. Every insight cites the document and passage it came from, so you can read the original before you act on it.

DOCUMENT LIBRARY

One place for the whole paper trail

Therapy reports, legal paperwork, financial records, letters and notices, denials and appeals: every upload lands in its place. And every analysis shows what it was read against. A notice analyzed after you upload your IEP carries the badge "Analyzed with context from 1 IEP." so you know the answer accounts for what the school already committed to.

  • Organized by category. Therapy reports, legal, financial, letters and notices, denials and appeals.
  • Context badges. Each document shows which other documents informed its analysis.
  • Ready when you need it. The next appeal, meeting, or application starts from documents that are already read and filed.
