Short Description: Explore how artificial intelligence can revolutionize education planning for twice-exceptional (2e) students. This session highlights practical strategies for using AI to reduce barriers, provide individualized support, and foster strengths, empowering educators to nurture creativity, critical thinking, and unique potential in diverse learners.

Learning Objectives:

Attendees will discover how AI can be integrated into the Trellis and Blossom model to support twice-exceptional (2e) students by balancing challenge and support.
Attendees will be given practical strategies for using AI tools to create strengths-based learning plans, adapt instruction, and provide targeted support for memory, behavior, and processing challenges.
Attendees will consider ethical considerations in AI-driven education, including data privacy, equitable access, and the role of AI as a support rather than a replacement for human teaching.
