The left-side panel has two ‘text boxes’.
1. Student Information: In this part, you must enter or type the information in the following format.
  - Using approximately 4,000 characters, write an exhaustive narrative about the student's behavior that causes disruption in the classroom.
  - You must strive to be as detailed and descriptive as possible, including all possible observations and scenarios that may have occurred with the student during various classroom instances.
2. Additional Information: In this section, please include any other relevant information that is not covered under the subheadings above and is necessary for the student's case.

Please remember the disclaimer:
This is an AI-generated Behavior Support Plan and is not a legally binding document; it is intended solely for informational purposes and as a draft.

Using the AI Draft/Template:

To start editing the draft, click the ‘Edit Icon’ at the top right of this panel.
1. This will change the UI to edit mode, allowing you to modify the draft.
2. You can edit all the subsections of the template as provided.
  1. Click ‘Done Editing’ once you want to save your changes.
  2. Click ‘Cancel Edits’ if you want to abandon your changes
If you want to use the draft content elsewhere, click the ‘Copy to Clipboard Icon’.
1. Then you can go to your target document or application, and use ‘Ctrl + V’ to paste the copied content.

Giving feedback about the AI Draft/Template:

If the AI-generated draft suits your requirements and purpose, you must click the 👍 ‘Like Icon’.
- This opens a pop-up dialog box. Add feedback by selecting the attributes and giving a verbose response about why you liked the draft. Click ‘Submit’.
If the AI-generated draft does not suit your requirements and purpose, you must click the 👎 ‘Dislike Icon’.
- This opens a pop-up dialog box. Add feedback by selecting the attributes and giving a verbose response about why you did not like the draft. Click ‘Submit’.

Providing accurate feedback about liking or disliking a template will help the AI model work better on future responses, as it is your feedback that helps AI refine the algorithmic logic that generates the draft content for you.

Best Practices

Treat the draft as a starting framework, not a completed plan.
Ensure all accommodations reflect the student’s actual needs.
Engage team members, including parents, in reviewing the draft.
Document all changes made during team discussions to ensure transparency.

Limitations & Notes

The tool provides an AI-assisted draft; it is not legally binding.
Final approval and compliance checks remain the responsibility of the school’s special education team.
