Keywords:
Artificial Intelligence (AI), Adaptive Learning, Sensory Disabilities, Speech Impairments, Computer Vision, Personalized Learning, Accessibility in Education, Data Privacy, Special Education TechnologyAbstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing education for students with disabilities, particularly those with sensory and speech impairments. By leveraging machine learning, NLP, and computer vision, AI tools like screen readers, speech-to-text systems, and gesture-based navigation are creating more accessible and personalized learning experiences. While challenges such as data privacy and algorithmic biases remain, AI holds immense potential to foster inclusivity and empower students to reach their full potential. This paper explores how AI is transforming education for students with disabilities, highlighting its benefits, challenges, and future possibilities.
