Exploring AI in Special Education with Chatbot Development and Usage.

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has made significant strides, especially in the area of natural language processing. One of the most promising uses of AI in education is the development of chatbots designed to support educators. 

Using chatbots in education, including the EL chatbot in inclusive learning environments, offers a promising way to enhance teaching efficiency and student learning experiences. By empowering educators with AI tools, we can create more dynamic and responsive educational environments. 

This presentation aims to provide educators with the knowledge and tools needed to begin exploring and implementing chatbot solutions in their classrooms.
