HIGHLIGHTER FEATURES
The work of advocacy, organized
Five tools that carry a case from the first document upload to the final invoice. Each one is built for a specific piece of special education work. Together they are one system, sharing one student record.
IN THIS SET
HOW A CASE MOVES THROUGH HIGHLIGHTER
01
Document Analysis
A case starts with paper. Upload an IEP, evaluation, or behavior intervention plan and get a structured summary in plain language, with key dates, goals, and potential issues flagged.
02
Meeting Preparation
The documents become a plan. Walk into every meeting with a packet tailored to the student: talking points, questions to ask, and data to reference.
03
Email Drafting
The plan becomes the record. Write confident, professional emails to the school, in the right tone, grounded in the student's IEP.

04
Case Management
The record stays whole. Every student's documents, timeline, and history live in one place, and you switch between cases without losing context.

05
Invoicing & Payments
For professional advocates, billing runs in the background. Send professional invoices and collect payment online, inside the same platform as the client work.

Underneath, one case file
Each tool feeds the next. The document you analyze becomes the data in your meeting packet. The meeting becomes the follow-up email, drafted from the same record. The hours you log along the way become the invoice. Upload once, and every feature works from the same case file.

Built for everyone who advocates
Parents advocating for their own child. Professional advocates carrying a caseload. Organizations supporting families at scale. Same tools, tuned to your role.
"As an advocate for families, using Highlighter has made the process easier for me to support families in the journey of an IEP or other special education resources. I would personally encourage families and advocates to utilize this growing resource for years to come."
Lauren, advocate, The Tutoring Hub, on Trustpilot
