The record

Purpose: Progress Desk is a case management application for special education professionals, including case managers.
Documentation: It builds 18 documents, including PLAAFPs, quarterly progress reports, family summaries, prior written notices, and meeting invitations.
Goal measurement: It supports 15 ways to measure a goal and shows baseline, target, data points, and trend on a goal card.
Scheduling: Its schedule brings sessions, meetings, deadlines, and class availability into one view, and recalculates make-up time and service-minute totals when sessions move.
Privacy: Student records are stored and processed locally, and the maker says it does not collect, access, transmit, store, or process student data through the software.
Security: The help center says data is encrypted at rest with a key sealed in the device’s macOS Keychain; backups can optionally be password-protected.
Connectivity: The maker says the Mac app needs internet for a one-time licence check and can work offline afterward.
Support: Support is available by email at [email protected], and the same person who built the software answers the support inbox.
Districts: The maker offers volume pricing and case-by-case help with deployment, custom templates, workflow setup, and data agreements; it does not publish district pricing tiers.
Refunds: The maker advertises a 30-day money-back guarantee.
