Education Week

A growing number of special education teachers say they use artificial intelligence platforms to draft all or part of students’ individualized education programs, even as many districts lack policies about how the rapidly evolving technology can be used. Educators have long reported struggles to keep up with the paperwork associated with IEPs. Now, they say AI platforms can help them write the federally mandated, personalized documents that detail goals for students with disabilities more quickly and with greater detail, allowing them to commit more time to instruction. But using the technology to create IEPs opens up a host of practical, ethical, and legal questions generally left unanswered by a dearth of official guidance.
