AI, disability, and life project: new perspectives for needs analysis, daily life, and the implementation of the life project for people with disabilities

Abstract

This study aims to outline the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and disability to make learning pathways, engagement, daily life, and life planning more accessible and customizable for people with disabilities. It examines the operational use of AI to enhance inclusion in educational, social, and work contexts, highlighting strategies designed to meet educational needs and promote active involvement. The research explores how AI, starting from the analysis of needs, can support operational teams in facilitating integration into various life contexts and in utilizing local resources to identify environments that accommodate the specific characteristics and functioning of individuals with disabilities. Ultimately, the study illustrates how the integration of AI and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) reduces learning barriers, fosters inclusion across different settings, and promotes a person-centered approach that values diversity while respecting individual uniqueness
