On the Horizon: AI as an Academic Accommodation

In this session, we will explore the hows, whys (and why-nots) of using generative AI as an accommodation for a student with a disability within higher education. As ChatGPT permeates the college campus, there is an opportunity to both align and redefine what we've traditionally considered as assistive technology. With real-world case studies, attendees will have the opportunity to consider possible accommodations that AI could provide for students with disabilities, while also troubleshooting the implementation of it as an approved accommodation.
