Today University Startups (USU) and Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced plans to develop an innovative, next-generation AI Chatbot tailored specifically for the special education community. This exciting, jointly-funded project aims to create a cutting-edge tool that will transform transition planning for over 7.5 million K-12 students with disabilities across the United States, as well as the dedicated network of teachers, para-educators, counselors, parents, and support staff who assist them.
USU’s Co-CEO Marc Steren said "Partnering with AWS helps us focus on what we do best—innovating for students and educators—while tapping into AWS’s powerful suite of services, including AI, machine learning, data analytics, and scalable storage solutions." University Startups is excited to invite school districts interested in enhancing their Special Education programs to join their pilot partner program. Please email info@university-startups.com.
AWS's Abby Chittams: “We’re thrilled to partner with USU to bring next-gen technologies to an incredibly important segment of the education space. This collaboration, using programs like Amazon Bedrock AI, will redefine and disrupt special education, helping to create a more inclusive and accessible future for students and educators alike."
Together, USU and AWS are setting the stage for a revolution in special education, unlocking new possibilities and breaking down barriers like never before.
