AI-Powered Interventions Revolutionizing Support for Students With Sensory Impairments: Challenges, AI Solutions, AI, and Accessibility

Students with sensory impairments worldwide face significant obstacles in accessing equitable educational opportunities. These obstacles include limited access to adapted learning materials, communication barriers, and challenges navigating physical and social environments. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers a transformative potential to address these challenges, providing innovative, personalized, and accessible solutions that empower these students to thrive. This chapter provides a comprehensive exploration of AI-driven interventions designed to support students with visual and hearing impairments, including assistive technologies such as screen readers, tactile learning materials, real-time transcription tools, and AI-powered navigation tools. It examines the application of these interventions across core academic areas, particularly in STEM fields, and explores their role in fostering inclusive learning environments through collaborative and multi-modal learning experiences.
