AI-Enhanced Assistive Technologies for Accessible Classrooms

Artificial intelligence (AI) transforms assistive technology by creating more personalized, adaptive, and effective learning environments for students with diverse needs. AI-enhanced assistive technologies, such as speech recognition systems, real-time captioning, text-to-speech applications, intelligent tutoring systems, and predictive communication tools, help reduce barriers to learning and promote greater inclusion in educational settings. These innovations enable students with disabilities to access instructional content, participate in classroom activities, and engage in the learning process. As schools and universities adopt AI-driven solutions, understanding their role in fostering accessibility, equity, and student success has become a critical area of educational research and practice. AI-Enhanced Assistive Technologies for Accessible Classrooms explores how AI enhances assistive technologies to improve accessibility, participation, and learning outcomes for students with disabilities in educational settings. It examines the effectiveness, benefits, and challenges of AI-driven tools in creating inclusive classrooms and supporting equitable access to education. This book covers topics such as student engagement, educational technologies, and inclusive education, and is a useful resource for educators, engineers, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
