A Review on Artificial Intelligence in Special Education

Innovative educational technologies have started to open new ways of interacting with students with special educational needs (SEN). Amongst the most effective approaches during the last decade (2001-2010) are those based on Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) techniques. The effective application of A.I. methods is seen as a means of improving the quality of life of SEN learners. Hence, a need for introducing A.I. techniques arises in order to develop both diagnosis and intervention processes. This paper presents a brief overview of the most representative studies of the past ten years, used for the above purposes.
