What Sets ROC-AI Apart
Roots of Compliance
While platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI chatbots offer powerful language capabilities, ROC-AI.org was built for a very specific purpose: to serve as a professional companion tool for school psychologists and special education teams. Unlike general chatbots, ROC-AI is focused entirely on compliance, ethics, and educational decision-making within the context of K–12 schools.
Here’s what makes ROC-AI unique:
Profession-Specific Focus
ROC-AI is not a general AI assistant, it’s built by and for school psychologists. Its responses are grounded in educational law, ethical standards, and best practices specific to the work we do every day.
Guided Summaries, Not Advice
ROC-AI doesn't give legal or clinical advice. Instead, it gathers relevant laws (like IDEA, FERPA, Section 504), ethical guidelines, and case references, and summarizes how they align with your question, helping you make decisions that are informed, defensible, and professionally supported.
Ethics-Driven by Design
Created by Gina Beaman, PsyD, a school psychologist with over 21 years of experience and a strong background in ethics, ROC-AI is designed to support equitable, ethical, and inclusive decision-making. It’s built with professional integrity at its core.
Compliance-First Responses
While most chatbots are built to answer broadly, ROC-AI focuses on legal and ethical compliance, offering clarity, not creativity, in situations where precision and responsibility matter most.
Educator-Centered Language
No tech jargon, no vague AI responses. ROC-AI speaks the language of educators, providing practical, relevant, and clearly framed responses that reflect the realities of schools and students.
In short
ROC-AI isn't just a chatbot; it's a trusted companion for professionals who carry the weight of legal, ethical, and educational responsibility. It's focused, responsible, and built with your role in mind.
