Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing accessibility, opening new doors for individuals with disabilities. From AI-powered Ray-Ban glasses and real-time captioning to automated audio descriptions and dubbing, technology is enhancing how we access and engage with information and entertainment. However, as AI advances, ethical considerations and the need for human oversight remain crucial.

The 2024 OSEP Leadership Conference highlighted the commitment to improving outcomes for children with disabilities. Key projects, like Dicapta’s All4Voicing Lite, showcased innovative tools for accessible education, while the event fostered collaboration and highlighted OSEP’s focus on equity and engagement in special education.
