Pink Cow isn't just another education app. It's a complete special education management system designed by teachers who understand your daily challenges.
Helpful student profiles with parental contacts, student-focused ToDos, and IEP-related goals in one secure location.
Create, track, and measure IEP goals with built-in timers, scoring systems, and automatic progress calculations.
Record observations in seconds with our mobile-optimized interface. Add notes on the go, then sync when you're back on wifi.
Generate beautiful, data-rich progress reports in seconds. Perfect for prepping IEP meetings, parent conferences, and compliance.
Work seamlessly with paraprofessionals, therapists, and administrators. Everyone sees real-time updates.
Built from the ground up to meet FERPA and state privacy laws. Your data is always secure.
Powerful tools that make Pink Cow the most advanced special education platform available
The iPhone app records without a signal and syncs when you reconnect — the gym, the bus, a corridor with no bars. The website needs a connection.
Built-in timers for timed goals and tasks. Automatically track duration and calculate success rates based on time requirements.
Pink Cow cannot take, store, or upload a picture of a child — there is no camera in the app and no image storage behind it. One less thing to explain to a parent, and one less thing to lose.
Pink Cow emails you when an IEP is coming due, and a weekly summary on the day you choose. No push notifications — your phone stays quiet.
Adopt your district's published calendar and the no-school days, early releases and in-service days are there — so pacing counts school days, not calendar days. IEP dates come from the student record. No external calendar to connect.
Every goal sits in a category — math calculation, reading comprehension, behaviour and self-regulation, written expression and the rest — so a caseload reads by area instead of as one long list.
A parent gets an email with a secure link and says yes or no. Until they say yes, Pink Cow will not record an observation, goal or IEP detail about their child — and that is enforced in the database, not just in the app.
Your data is backed up by our hosting provider, and you can export every observation as a spreadsheet at any time — for your records, a district request, or a transfer.
