Dear Adel Hussein Ali Mohamed ,

Artificial Intelligence is an innovative tool in special education, creating individual lessons for learners. AI systems analyze vast datasets, adapting content and pace to each student's unique profile. This technology empowers educators with insights, enabling personalized interventions and progress tracking.

I agree that on the academic side, it may help teachers present lessons in an engaging manner, but the negative effects must be mitigated. These sometimes include the risk of declining teacher professionalism, undermining relationships between teachers and students, entrenching biases, data privacy concerns, and the potential for distorting research findings. Regarding some special education categories of students who suffer from hyperactivity and attention deficit disorder (ADHD), reading difficulties, or poor writing skills, recent studies have noted negative effects of using phones, their apps, or computers, leading to lower academic achievement.

Although my primary domain is intelligent transportation systems, my involvement in academic mentorship and teaching has often intersected with inclusive education strategies-particularly in integrating digital tools to support diverse learners. Artificial Intelligence, in my view, has the potential to transform special education by enabling personalized learning environments, much like how AI adapts to dynamic traffic patterns in VANETs.

One parallel I often draw from my research is the concept of adaptive systems. Just as an AI model learns traffic behaviour and responds in real time, AI tools in education can adapt content delivery based on a student’s learning pace, sensory preferences, or cognitive needs. Tools like speech-to-text, predictive text systems, and emotion-aware feedback engines support students with learning disabilities or speech impairments in ways that were unimaginable a decade ago.

Moreover, AI’s integration into IoT-driven classroom systems-which I have explored for smart city applications can also be applied in special education settings. For instance, using environmental sensors and voice-command interfaces to support mobility or communication for physically challenged students.

The key, however, is not just deploying AI but ensuring it’s ethically designed and context-aware. Much like in traffic systems, AI in special education should prioritize fairness, explainability, and human-centric outcomes.

يُقدّم الذكاء الاصطناعي حلولًا تعليمية متطورة فعليا تتوافق بدقة مع احتياجات كل طالب، ونقاط قوته، وأسلوب تعلمه المميز. فمن خلال تحليل البيانات في الوقت الفعلي، تقوم المنصات التعليمية التكيفية المدعومة بالذكاء الاصطناعي بتعديل المحتوى وطرق التدريس ديناميكيًا، مما يضمن تقديم مستوى مناسب من التحدي والدعم لكل متعلم.

ويبرز دور الذكاء الاصطناعي بشكل خاص في دعم الطلاب الذين يخضعون لخطط تعليمية فردية (IEPs)، حيث يُسهّل على المعلمين تطوير استراتيجيات تعليمية مخصصة وتعديلها بناءً على تحليل مستمر لأداء الطالب، مما يعزز التحصيل العلمي ويُحسّن النتائج التعليمية بشكل ملحوظ.

يوفر الذكاء الاصطناعي حلاً فعّالاً لتخفيف الأعباء الإدارية على معلمي التربية الخاصة، الذين يُستهلك جزء كبير من وقتهم في الأعمال الورقية، وإعداد التقييمات، وتخطيط الدروس. من خلال أتمتة هذه المهام المتكررة، يُحرر الذكاء الاصطناعي وقت المعلمين، مما يمكنهم من التركيز على الجانب الإنساني والأكاديمي، مثل التفاعل المباشر مع الطلاب وبناء علاقات تعليمية ذات معنى. كما يُسهم ذلك في رفع كفاءة العملية التعليمية، مما يمنح المعلمين مساحة أكبر لتقديم تعليم أكثر تخصيصًا وتوجيهًا فرديًا.

Artificial Intelligence is making a meaningful difference in special education by helping create more personalized and accessible learning experiences for students with diverse needs. AI-powered tools can adapt lessons in real time based on a student's pace, learning style, or specific challenges—whether it's speech delays, dyslexia, autism, or mobility issues. For example, speech-to-text and text-to-speech apps support students with communication difficulties, while AI-driven tutoring systems offer one-on-one guidance tailored to each learner. AI can also assist teachers by tracking student progress and identifying areas where extra help is needed, allowing them to focus more on emotional and social support. In short, AI isn’t replacing educators—it’s empowering them to teach more effectively and inclusively.
