I'm Robert Foreman, a Doctoral Student in Educational Technology at Central Michigan University, committed to revolutionizing special education through the power of AI and technology.
My research centers on developing adaptive learning platforms that use AI to enhance individualized education plans (IEPs) and personalized learning strategies for students with autism and other special needs. By integrating cutting-edge technology into education, I aim to address the critical shortage of special education teachers and empower educators with tools to provide truly tailored learning experiences.
This blog is dedicated to exploring the intersection of AI, technology, and special education. Whether you're an educator, parent, or advocate passionate about advancing education for neurodiverse learners, you'll find innovative ideas, research insights, and forward-thinking strategies to inspire and inform.
Join me as we harness the potential of technology to transform education and create brighter futures for all learners.
