Questions about choosing and using a resource

What will I receive?

Each purchase provides one ZIP file containing the PDF resources and included guides. These are digital downloads; no physical item is shipped. Color and ink-friendly versions contain the same material, so print styles and repeated component pages should not be counted as additional unique content.

Can I type into the pages?

The pages are printable and annotatable, with no interactive fillable fields. You can write on printed pages or use a PDF app that supports text or handwriting annotations. Editable Word files are not included.

How may my family use the planner or bundle?

One purchase covers the children in the purchasing parent or caregiver’s care, across caregiving households and future meetings, with no renewal fee. Print as often as your family needs. Share completed pages with your child’s school team, providers, or advocate, and relevant blank pages with adults helping that same family. Distribution to other families, classes, schools, or a professional caseload requires separate written AU permission.

How may a professional use the staff toolkit?

One purchase covers one professional’s direct work with current and future assigned students across service settings, with no renewal fee. Selected blank forms may be shared to support the same student served. A colleague’s independent caseload use requires their own purchase or separate written AU permission. A campus, district, or shared-team license is not included. Share completed records with authorized members of that student’s support team, following your school or provider’s privacy procedures.

Can I share or redistribute the files?

Follow the full permission page included with your purchase. Public posting of blank files, resale, broad redistribution, removing AU branding, and presenting the resources as your own product are not included. Contact The Adaptive University LLC for separate written permission for broader use.

Are these official school forms?

These are original AU planning resources. They are not official school or TEA forms, evaluations, approved testing-aid lists, legal advice, or a substitute for current school procedures. They do not promise a particular school decision. The Adaptive University LLC is independent of TEA; official resources linked inside remain available from their publishers.

Prices are in USD and are one-time purchases. Both print styles are included.
