School Teachers’ Use of Generative AI for Supporting Neurodivergent Students

Abstract

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) offers novel opportunities for promoting inclusive education, but its use for supporting neurodivergent students is not well understood. This study used a qualitative research approach to examine experiences, perceptions, and support needs in integrating generative AI by schoolteachers working with neurodivergent students. The findings inform a growing need for AI-informed components in teacher training, school policy on responsible AI adoption, and neuro-friendly strategies for supporting neurodiverse learners through ethical and innovative educational technologies.
