A recent survey from the Special Olympics Global Center for Inclusion in Education shows that while a majority of students with an intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) and their parents view AI as a potentially transformative technology, only 35% of educators believe that AI developers currently account for the needs and priorities of students with IDD.
