“Empowering Education: The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Supporting Students with Disabilities”

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has revolutionized adaptive learning technologies and greatly supports the learners with disabilities. This study explores how AI solutions help make education more inclusive by addressing challenges related to mental, visual, and hearing impairments. By reviewing existing research and survey data, we highlight tools like speech-to-text applications, intelligent tutoring systems, and personalized platforms that improve learning experiences for students with disabilities. Key AI tools—such as speech-to-text applications, language translation services, intelligent tutoring systems, and personalized learning platforms—are crucial in meeting the diverse needs of students. Moreover, the study addresses the ethical, technical, and adoption challenges that are associated with the integration of AI in educational settings. These include the issues of privacy, algorithmic bias, and the need for adequate training for educators. The paper offers recommendations for policymakers, educators, and researchers encouraging the development and responsible adoption of these technologies to ensure disabled students have the same academic opportunities as their non-disabled peers. Additionally, the findings highlight the necessity for increased awareness and education on current AI trends for disabled children to maximize the benefits of these technologies. This paper contributes to the ongoing discourse on AI in education and disability studies, advocating for a future where AI-powered adaptive learning technologies empower all students to reach their full potential.
