Built-In Accessibility Features
AI-Learners includes features like text-to-speech, color contrast adjustments (This feature is a GAME CHANGER), and alternative input methods to ensure that all students can access and engage with the content.

I love that you can toggle between real images and clipart for sorting games, increase and decrease font sizes, change color contrast, and decrease visual complexity settings.

Perkins School for the Blind has approved of this resource as a platform for online games that has low vision and CVI options as well as being accessible to switches, eye gaze, and screen readers! This is a huge win in the accessibility forefront!

Progress Tracking for Teachers
Teachers can easily monitor student progress, making it simple to adjust instruction and celebrate student growth. No more guessing if a student is improving—AI-Learners provides real data, something special education teachers can use to track IEP goals and show student growth!

New Feature for Special Education!

AI Learners just launched a new feature for social narratives! Teachers can choose from a library of premade stories and the stories are read aloud. They can also create personalized stories based on their students and use multiple choice to assess afterwards.

A Must-Have for Special Education

For teachers looking to integrate differentiated, engaging, and accessible math instruction into their classrooms, AI-Learners is a must have. I love that is differentiated and meets students where they are and tracks student growth- one engaging game at a time!

The creator of AI Learners, Adele, with her sister Lara.

Unlike other AI programs available, this one is really created with self-contained classrooms in mind. The creator has a younger sister with Rett Syndrome, which inspired her to create a tool that is accessible for students of all abilities (especially in special education classrooms). Adele stressed to me that it is very important to her that the tool is inclusive for all, and that’s something that we love to hear at Simply Special Ed.
