Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Artificial intelligence in special needs education: innovations, opportunities and challenges   Order a copy of this article
    by Mohamed Atef, Ahmed Mohamed 
    Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers transformative potential in enhancing accessibility, personalisation, and engagement for students with special needs. This review explores the integration of AI-driven tools leveraging machine learning (ML), natural language processing (NLP), and computer vision - to support learners with visual, hearing, intellectual, and orthopedic impairments, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), dyslexia, and other challenges. AI interventions have demonstrated improvements in academic outcomes by delivering real-time feedback, adapting instructional content, and enabling alternative communication methods. Predictive analytics further aid in early detection of learning difficulties, facilitating timely interventions. Despite these benefits, challenges remain, including limited infrastructure, financial constraints, algorithmic bias, and data privacy concerns. Addressing these issues requires robust policy frameworks, targeted funding, ethical AI development, and comprehensive teacher training. The paper emphasises the need for future research on scalable, cost-effective, and equitable AI solutions that promote inclusive education while ensuring fairness and mitigating the risk of reinforcing existing disparities.
    Keywords: artificial intelligence; special needs education; assistive technologies; AI hardware; inclusive learning; machine learning; adaptive learning systems.
