Research shows risks and opportunities of GenAI for dyslexic, neurodivergent and disabled students - Nottingham Trent University

The ability of ChatGPT to process natural language and generate human-like conversational explanations is often claimed to make learning more accessible and engaging for students. This recent rise in the use of Generative AI (GenAI) tools has sparked the interest of support teams across schools and universities in considering recommending them to aid the learning of dyslexic, neurodivergent and disabled students. For example, for use with tasks such as explaining concepts and ideas and summarizing articles.  We worked with an undergraduate student to get the views of these students on GenAI in higher education. Specifically, we were interested in understanding how the students use this tool in their daily lives and the benefits and risks to their learning.
