Being a special ed teacher means having a long list of responsibilities and often not enough time in the day.
That includes writing IEPs, legally mandated documents that serve as tailored education plans for each child.
That's special ed teacher Maria Sibu, who says teachers like her must know their students' unique learning styles intimately and have a knowledge of complex laws, all to make sure students get a quality education.
But all the paperwork leaves teachers burned out, so an increasing number of them are using AI to help write those IEPs.
Research is showing that if it's done safely and with the right training, it can actually improve the quality of the work
and give teachers more time to work directly with students.
