Emerging Trends of Using Artificial Intelligence in Developing Strategies to Handle the Students with Learning Disabilities in the Subject of Mathematics

Abstract

The study explores emerging trends in leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to develop strategies for addressing the needs of students with learning disabilities in mathematics. It used a quantitative research design, making use of a structured questionnaire in data gathering from 225 special education teachers selected through simple random sampling. This study highlighted the transformative capabilities of AI-driven tools, such as personalized learning platforms, real-time feedback mechanisms, and adaptive technologies in mathematics education for students with special needs. AI can provide tailored instruction, reduce mathematics anxiety, and enhance students' confidence. Consequently, this means that AI is fundamentally important in inclusive education. The findings are that educators consider AI critical in helping reduce workloads and in the development of custom-made teaching approaches. We identify challenges like cost, teacher preparedness, and contextual barriers, highlighting the need for targeted policies and professional development programs. This research contributes to the growing discourse on AI's impact in special education, advocating its integration to bridge learning gaps and promote equity in mathematics education.
