AI is revolutionizing the technology that allows students with disabilities to access the general education curriculum. Struggling to read no longer means missing out on academic and social information that is text based or text heavy.

Devices like reading pens, that allow a student to scan text and hear it simultaneously will help that student access to all of the information their typical peers enjoy.

It goes beyond this of course, to include anything that interferes with a person's ability to access information and knowledge despite having a learning disability.

The promise of AI for education is that it will allow anyone to use their innate talents to create a life that they have the talent and drive to create, no matter their ability to read or calculate or stay organized.

The subject matter of this program relates to students who are high-functioning and in general education most or all of the time. In particular, the content addresses student needs who may have ADHD, high functioning autism and/or learning disabilities.

Hear how a parent can request a technology assessment from their school district, and how high-tech devices and apps can change a student's academic life.
