Challenges and Optimization Pathways of Artificial Intelligence-Supported Educational Interventions for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Multi-Stakeholder Collaborative Perspective
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used in the education and support of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
providing new possibilities for educational assessment
instructional intervention
and communication between families and schools. However
its use in practice is still affected by existing educational support systems and collaboration among different stakeholders. Based on ecological systems theory and educational collaboration perspectives
this paper reviews the use of AI in education for children with ASD and examines its relationship with families
schools
professional service providers
and communities. Particular attention is given to the practical problems and factors underlying them. The review shows that AI has been used for data collection
behavioral analysis
personalized feedback
and intelligent interaction
and can also facilitate information sharing among different stakeholders. At the same time
several problems remain. Communication between families
schools
and professional services is often insufficient
educational goals are not always consistent
and responsibilities are not clearly connected across settings. AI tools are also often used separately
with limited integration into everyday teaching and intervention. Differences in the digital skills of teachers
parents
and professionals further affect their use of these technologies. In addition
issues concerning data privacy
algorithmic bias
and appropriate boundaries of AI use require attention. These problems are related to weak connections across ecological levels
limited collaboration among stakeholders
and insufficient integration of AI into educational practice. To address these issues
this paper suggests improving collaboration among families
schools
and communities
strengthening links between AI tools and educational data
developing relevant skills among teachers
parents
and professionals
and clarifying requirements for data use and ethical governance. These measures may help AI better support the education and development of children with ASD.
