Designing for Difference: Inclusive AI in Instructional Design for Neurodiverse Learners: Toward Equity, Dignity, and Belonging in Human-Centered Learning Systems

Designing for Difference offers a groundbreaking vision for how artificial intelligence can support—not replace—human dignity, agency, and learning for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Drawing from instructional design, inclusive education, and AI ethics, the book equips educators, designers, and technologists with frameworks, tools, and stories that center the margins. Through practical models, research insights, and participatory design principles, this book shows how difference isn’t a problem to solve—it’s the future of design.
