A diagnosis comes with pamphlets. So does an IEP meeting. So does a doctor visit, a school transition, a therapy intake. We did not need more paper. We needed an autism IEP plan we could actually use.
That is the gap we kept hitting. The school team would hand us a forty page document at the end of a meeting. By the time we got home, we had forgotten which goal mapped to which service, which accommodation we had agreed to, and which sentence the speech therapist had said that made us cry in the parking lot.
Why an Autism IEP Plan Needs to Live Outside the Folder
Because the folder gets put in a drawer. The plan needs to live where the parenting actually happens, on the phone in your pocket, ready when the bus is late and the teacher emails and the question comes up in real time.
How Vizy Advocate Works
You record the meeting. The Advocate transcribes it, pulls out the goals, the accommodations, the action items, and turns the wall of text into something parent shaped. My wife is a licensed speech-language pathologist, so we built the goal extraction with the same lens she would use in her own sessions. Clear, observable, measurable. The way a goal is supposed to read.
You leave the meeting and you walk out with a plan that is yours, not a binder you have to translate at midnight.

What You Can Do With It Tomorrow
Forward the summary to grandparents and babysitters. Share the accommodations with a new therapist. Pull up the goals during a hard week and remember what you are actually working toward. Compare last year's IEP goals to this year's in seconds and see what your child has earned.
We believe families deserve real tools, not paperwork. The Advocate is what that belief looks like in your pocket.
If you have an IEP meeting on your calendar, this is the one we built for you.
