Excel and note apps can hold anything — which is exactly the problem. Here is why a purpose-built record beats a blank grid when what you are documenting is a person's care.
Special education ends, but the documentation never does. Beetably now supports adult profiles — with IPP logging, program history, and tools that adapt from school to day program and supported employment.
Your child's care is rarely a one-person job. Share Access lets you invite a co-parent, grandparent, or caregiver to view or help manage a child's profile — with per-child control and privacy built in.
Progress for a child with complex needs isn't always a straight line. Logging milestones — gains, plateaus, and regressions — across every domain gives you a clear record to share with your care team.

Individual entries tell you what happened. The Calendar View shows you the patterns — browse everything by month and spot the trends you can't see one note at a time.
The IHSS Hours Calendar automatically divides your monthly authorized hours across every active day — and rebalances instantly when things change.
Every new teacher, substitute, or respite provider needs to understand your child quickly. The Profile Sheet gives them everything they need on a single printable page.
End-of-day dismissal is one of the highest-risk moments in a special needs child's school day. A printed checklist gives paras and aides a clear, consistent routine — every day.
