Neurodiversity Dialogues: GenAI and Neurodivergent Learners

How can GenAI transform or complicate the learning experience for neurodivergent students? Generative AI is rapidly changing the educational landscape, but what does this mean for neurodivergent learners? While AI tools promise new possibilities for accessibility and personalized learning, they can also result in unintended consequences. In this session, we’ll share what the Center for Teaching Innovation has explored so far, present data on AI use at Cornell, and highlight examples from emerging research and practice. Together, we’ll discuss opportunities, challenges, and your ideas for how AI could support or hinder neurodivergent students in the classroom. Join us for a collaborative conversation that welcomes both enthusiasm and skepticism as we consider the future of AI in teaching and learning.
