Abstract

WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS: Teaching academic skills to students with intellectual disabilities can be a challenge for educators. This study explored the role of AI in the field of special education and provided a novel framework for educational integration of children with mild ID. Interestingly, it demonstrated that using AI-driven interventions could significantly improve academic skills and lead to better learning outcomes. This is crucial, as the holistic approach associated with the "whole child" model of education is prevalent due to the challenges students with ID face in social interactions typically involved in academic socialization.
