The Application of Artificial Intelligence and Assistive Technology in Supporting Children with Developmental Disabilities

Summary/Abstract: Children with developmental disabilities, such as intellectual disabilities, multiple impairments, and autism spectrum disorders, often face challenges in learning, communication, and social integration. Traditional support methods are often insufficient to help them reach their full potential. The development and application of modern technologies, particularly artificial intelligence (AI) and assistive technology (AT), offer new possibilities for improving educational and rehabilitation processes. This paper analyzes how these technologies are used to support children with disabilities through a review of the literature, practical examples, and available technological tools. The role of AI in personalizing learning and recognizing emotional states is emphasized, as well as the application of AT in facilitating daily activities and the importance of AAC for developing communication skills. Challenges in the implementation of these technologies, including the education of professionals, device availability, and ethical aspects, are also discussed. The conclusion highlights that the integrated use of AI and AT significantly contributes to the inclusion and quality of life of children with disabilities, provided it is supported by appropriate education and support systems.
