Abstract

Special needs students face various learning challenges during the process of learning. To handle such situations and to support student learning, special education teachers adopt various teaching techniques. The traditional pedagogies of teaching and learning could be customized for each student using AI-enabled adaptive learning system. The system could generate a conducive learning environment for special needs as per their learning needs and level of engagement. This paper focuses on the use of AI-enabled adaptive learning to improve the learning performance and engagement of special needs students.
