Computational Thinking and Artificial Intelligence Training Program for Students with Intellectual Disability: A Path to Inclusion

June 15, 2025

Integrating Computational Thinking (CT) with Artificial Intelligence (AI) could enable individuals with intellectual disabilities to navigate an increasingly digital society inclusively. This study examines how CT, applied to Spanish students with intellectual disability (ID), can reduce the digital divide and enhance employability while exploring AI’s role in this process. A qualitative research program analyzed observable behaviors following CT and AI training.
