CEDC Coffee Chat: AI and Accessibility

Thursday, October 17, 2024

3:00 PM - 4:00 PM ET

Location: Zoom

Format: Virtual


AUCD’s Community Education and Dissemination Council (CEDC) is excited to offer a new opportunity to connect and learn!

Reminder, you do not need to be a member of this council to participate, Coffee Chats are open to anyone and everyone! Please share with those who may be interested!

*Please note, Coffee Chats are not recorded due wanting to create a conversation feel versus a didactic/presentation feel.

AI tools are becoming increasingly important in supporting accessibility for people with disabilities, offering new ways to enhance productivity and reduce barriers. Please join us for our October Coffee Chat as we discuss the topic of AI and accessibility. 

We will be discussing ways AI can be leveraged as an accessibility tool, with a focus on tools like ChatGPT and Grammarly. We will share specific examples of how our invited contributors have used AI to assist with executive functioning and improving communication accessibility. Together, we will examine how AI can empower individuals with ADHD, autism, and other disabilities in their daily tasks.

Here are some questions to consider in preparation for our upcoming chat:

  • How are you currently using AI tools in your personal or professional life?
  • In what ways do you think AI could enhance accessibility in your work or for the people you serve?
  • Have you encountered any challenges using AI tools in accessibility?
  • What specific tasks or areas do you think AI could help make more accessible for people with disabilities?
  • Are there concerns or limitations you’ve noticed with AI in terms of accessibility?

Please remember, this is your conversation so please feel free to bring up something we didn’t identify.

The vision for Coffee Chat is for people to come together to share cool things you are doing and get ideas for things you may want to start or implement into your respective settings. There will be identified topics each month that will be the focus of the Coffee Chat. Informal format so please feel free to drop in and out as you are able!

If you have any questions, or have a topic you would like to see on the schedule, please reach out ([email protected]).

We are looking for upcoming topics!
