Abstract:
The inclusion of AI powered adaptive learning systems in education systems can transform the learning experience of every learner. Especially, students with disabilities can benefit immensely from this technology. These platforms employ machine learning models, natural language understanding, and real time data processing to generate and deliver lessons, provide feedback, and assist learners in the most effective way. This paper addresses the consequences of using AI powered adaptive learning tools on educational outcomes and engagement for learners with disabilities. It aims to show how personalized interventions that enhance accessibility, cognitive development, and learning outcomes are achieved. The study uses data from user's interaction pattern, provided workload during the training, and the user's mental processes to define the processes that increase the efficiency of these systems. The results AI powered adaptive learning systems help achieve higher engagement, understanding, and memory in all students with learning disabilities, thereby lessening the educational gap between them and their peers. This study supports the necessity of and puts forth some elements of an inclusive AI design. Further work can incorporate ethical AI governance, multi-disciplinary approaches and design driven by users, to address the needs of students with disabilities in relation to adaptive learning systems. AI-powered adaptive learning platforms hold immense potential to create more inclusive, personalized, and effective learning environments for students with disabilities.
