A generative AI tool can draft material to assist, but a Section 504 plan requires an individualized determination by the school's qualified team based on the specific student's needs — so AI may support, not replace, that human judgment, and over-reliance risks a non-individualized plan that fails §504. The decision must remain the team's. Planisphere can measure how such a tool behaves to inform appropriate use; it does not authorize AI-authored plans or provide legal advice.
