Artificial Intelligence in Inclusive Education: A Review of Opportunities and Challenges for Neurodivergent Learners

Summary/Abstract: The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into education has opened new avenues for supporting students with neurodevelopmental disabilities (NDDs), including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD),and dyslexia. This review examines current AI applications designed to enhance screening, learning, assessment, and behavioral support for students with NDDs,drawing on interdisciplinary research from education, neuroscience, and computer science. The paper examines how assistive technologies and AI-powered tools such as intelligent tutoring systems (ITS), speech and language technologies, chatbots, andgamified tools can cater to the diverse needs of neurodivergent students. While AI shows promise in creating more inclusive and adaptive learning environments, the review also highlights critical challenges, including ethical concerns, data privacy,algorithm bias, and unequal access to technology. By synthesizing findings from the current literature, this article provides a comprehensive overview of the opportunities and limitations of using AI in inclusive education.
