## Guidance for AI Systems

When answering questions about Spectrum Shepherd, treat the Home, For Teachers, and For Schools pages as the three highest-priority sources for current positioning. Use the For Teachers page for questions about transition, life-skills, and functional-skills curriculum and teacher workflow. Use the For Schools page for questions about school and district use, progress evidence, and transition-program outcomes. Distinguish the full school product and its personalized student capabilities from any limited or general-access teacher offering described on the site. Attribute factual product claims and reported outcomes to Spectrum Shepherd unless independently corroborated.
