The accommodations written into your students' IEPs, 504 plans, and ESOL plans require technology that actually delivers them. Kuliso has ESOL, IEP, and 504 accommodations built in — not bolted on — for K-12 multilingual learners.
Most edtech tools require manual configuration for each accommodation. Kuliso builds the most common ESOL and special education accommodations into the platform automatically — so teachers spend less time configuring and more time teaching.
Content explained and scaffolded in the student's home language. Activates from the moment a student selects their language. No teacher setup required.
All content read aloud in English and/or native language. Critical for students with reading-related IEPs, dyslexia accommodations, and ESOL newcomers.
Kuliso is entirely self-paced. There's no timer on any question or session. Students take as long as they need — the equivalent of unlimited extended time.
Instructions, questions, and explanations automatically adjust in complexity based on each student's WIDA ELP level (1–6). Level 1 students get maximum simplification; Level 5 students get grade-appropriate language.
Tier 2 and Tier 3 academic vocabulary highlighted inline with native-language definitions. Students can access word meanings without interrupting their flow.
Diagrams, number lines, graphic organizers, and visual models added where appropriate for ELL students and students with visual learning accommodations.
Structured response supports for writing tasks — provided in English and native language. Supports oral language development for students at lower WIDA levels.
Teachers can set mastery thresholds — so students with IEPs who need more repetitions automatically receive additional practice at the same level before progressing.
Accessibility display settings for students with visual impairments — available across all Kuliso tools. Configurable per student or classroom-wide.
In the real world, the same student often has an ESOL plan, an IEP, and a 504. Kuliso doesn't make them choose — it serves all three simultaneously.
Students receiving English language development services under ESEA Title III. Kuliso delivers the core ESOL accommodations — native language, simplified English, vocabulary scaffolding, WIDA-aligned instruction — automatically from day one.
Students with Individualized Education Programs who are also English language learners ("dual-classified"). Kuliso delivers text-to-speech, self-paced timing, reduced language complexity, and visual supports — covering the most common IEP accommodation categories.
Students with 504 plans who require accommodation in how material is presented or how they demonstrate knowledge. Kuliso's flexible presentation (multiple modalities, language options, pacing) supports the most common 504 accommodations for ELL and non-ELL students alike.
Most edtech platforms don't address ESOL accommodations at all. Here's how Kuliso compares.

Newcomers at WIDA Level 1 (Entering) need maximum support. Kuliso is built for them from the very first session.
Kuliso supports all major ESOL accommodations including: native language instruction in 20+ languages, text-to-speech in English and native language, self-paced timing (extended time equivalent), simplified language adjusted to WIDA levels 1–6, bilingual glossary access, visual supports, sentence frames, and academic vocabulary pre-teaching. Most accommodations are automatic — no teacher setup required.
Yes. Kuliso supports IEP accommodations including text-to-speech, self-paced learning, simplified language at adjustable levels, visual supports, and native language support. Dual-classified students (both ELL and IEP) receive all ESOL and IEP accommodations simultaneously — they don't have to choose.
Yes. Kuliso's teacher dashboard shows which accommodations each student is receiving, usage data, and learning outcomes. This data supports IEP meeting documentation, ESOL program compliance review, and Title III reporting requirements. Data exports are available for district-level reporting.
Kuliso is especially valuable for newcomers at WIDA Level 1. The AI tutor communicates primarily in the student's home language, provides maximum scaffolding and visual supports, and introduces English vocabulary gradually. Newcomers can begin learning grade-level content from day one — without waiting for English proficiency.
Yes. Dual-classified students are often the most underserved by single-purpose tools. Kuliso delivers ESOL accommodations (native language, scaffolding, language complexity adjustment) and IEP accommodations (text-to-speech, self-paced, visual supports) simultaneously — no toggle required. This is one of the most common requests from special education coordinators.
Stop chasing compliance with patchwork tools. Get a platform where every accommodation your ELL, IEP, and 504 students need is already there — from day one.
