O uso de inteligência artificial como ferramenta de apoio à linguística aplicada na educação especial inclusiva: revisão bibliográfica

The subject of this study is the application of artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool to support applied linguistics in inclusive special education. The main objective is to investigate how AI can be used to develop technological solutions that adapt teaching materials, improve communication and facilitate personalized learning for students with special educational needs. The methodology adopted is a literature review, covering scientific research and relevant publications that discuss the integration of AI in inclusive educational contexts. Data collection included the analysis of case studies and research projects that exemplify the use of AI-based technologies to meet the diverse needs of students. The results obtained indicate that AI has significant potential to support the learning of students with disabilities, particularly in adapting teaching materials and overcoming linguistic and textual barriers. Technologies such as virtual assistants, voice recognition software and adaptive learning systems have proven to be effective in improving accessibility and personalizing teaching. It is concluded that, although AI offers promising opportunities for inclusive special education, continued investment in research and development, as well as teacher training, is needed so that these technologies can be fully integrated into the educational environment in an effective and ethical way.
