In response to increased accountability around tracking services and ensuring the delivered services meet those outlined in the IEP, Brolly developed a way for teachers and providers to track toward anticipated minutes.This Premier Tier feature takes compliance oversight to the next level, allowing administrators a clear picture into which services are or are not being fulfilled in accordance with the IEP. In turn, this allows you to identify and address compliance concerns in your district proactively.Service Fulfillment TrackingBrolly's Service Fulfillment Tracking feature provides insight into student services and compares delivered service minutes to required minutes, as pulled from the IEP.

Each year, Brolly collects feedback from districts, administrators, and providers to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and usability of our platform. Many of the enhancements developed from this feedback cycle have since become core features; streamlining data entry, strengthening reporting, and improving overall user experience.Below is an overview of several key capabilities now available across Brolly.Grid Data EntryBrolly’s digital forms for service tracking and progress monitoring are a great improvement over pen and paper and other more cumbersome solutions.

Special education leaders have significant responsibility when it comes to ensuring students are receiving the services they’re entitled to – and being able to demonstrate it. Whether your district has 50 or 5,000 students with IEPs, getting a pulse on compliance can be a daunting task. No special education leader wants to uncover a gap in services as they’re walking into an IEP meeting – or minutes after receiving a due process complaint.However, the sheer volume of service minutes provided across a district in any given week, combined with varying methods of tracking (paper, spreadsheets, binders) makes proactively identifying these gaps a monumental task.With Brolly, a few minutes a week can give you a pulse on services provided across your district.
