As AI becomes increasingly embedded into educational settings and practices, it offers both opportunities and challenges. This comprehensive resource will help navigate both aspects— demonstrating how AI can help overcome technology barriers and highlighting areas where it may inadvertently create new obstacles for people with disabilities (PWD).

Our goal is to shift the conversation around AI in higher education beyond topics like academic integrity or the student experience, and instead encourage a focus on how AI can promote accessibility and inclusion. The resource includes various recommendations for integrating accessible AI across different areas of higher education. It is also a practical toolkit complete with example activities, discussion questions, and reading lists.

Key highlights include:

  • Intro to Accessibility and AI, explaining key concepts and their relevance in higher education.
  • Specific challenges PWD face when using AI, including biases and ableist assumptions that may hinder accessibility.
  • The role of AI in assistive technology (AT), how it can be used as an assistive tool in educational contexts.
  • How AI can support accessibility, providing insights into making AI more inclusive.
  • Practical advice for educators and administrators on implementing and using AI inclusively.
