Corona virus (COVID- 19) and education for all achievement: artificial intelligence and special education needs- achievements and challenges

Abstract

The shortage of well trained teachers especially in special education is a serious problem worldwide. To attain education for all as enshrined in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), there is urgent need for robot ways of solving this problem with grave consequences for the future of children with disabilities and special education needs. Thus, education delivery methods like other services need to be innovative. Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) have commenced to render such opportunities even in the delivery of special education needs through the Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods.The fundamental rationale for the systematic literature review is to examine achievements and challenges in the application of AI for teaching children with special education needs, share knowledge to spark and inspire processes that will usher rapid growth from all directions in ensuring quality and relevant education for children with disabilities using AI. A systematic review of the literatures using information collected from different sources was actuated. Google Search Engine was used to search for these articles. During the search numerous combinations of words and phrases were used to ensure articles reflect the most recent knowledge and scholarly works. In essence, only peer-reviewed articles published after 2000 were selected except extracts perceived to be of fundamental mileage to the study. However, articles published by staunch international organizations working in special education needs for years and has produced indefatigable knowledge in the field were stealthily appraised. The introduction of AI has made giant achievements in special education needs delivery and the achievements include but not limited to addressing written language, reading, listening, memory; and arithmetic problems of students with special needs education. Thus, notwithstanding the challenges more especially in the developing nations, AI has the power to enhance learning for children with special needs while curbing some of the problems such children are encountering in accessing quality and relevant education. In conclusion the findings revealed some significant achievements and the possibilities of more if the appropriate technologies are applied consistently with the right environment both in schools and homes.
