Artificial Intelligence is new and emerging, and yet already it has the potential to support the goals of inclusive education by providing unique, personalised learning experiences. AI-powered tools can support teachers and families to imagine new ideas to support neurodivergent learners, and can be tailored to the individual needs of students in new and exciting ways.
We have run two webinars this year on the topic - our first webinar, in May, was an introduction to the topic, while our second webinar in October provided a comprehensive practical review of impactful AI applications.
Our Manager of Technology and Innovation, Craig Smith, also delivered a TEDx talk on AI and executive functioning in October 2024. The recording can be viewed above.
