What Superintendents Are Asking for in 2026 & What We’re Bringing to AASA Booth #1535
Superintendents are being asked to deliver personalization at scale, ensure continuity, strengthen special education capacity, and manage risk, all at once. At the AASA National Conference on Education, HiNAIA is focused on what district leaders care about most right now: real-time, adaptive instruction that scales, evidence-based accommodations that follow students beyond the classroom, responsible AI with clear guardrails, and equity measured by outcomes, not intent. Stop by Booth #1535 to join the conversation about what actually works for special education students and teams.
How Can AI Support Special Education Students Without Replacing Teachers?
Special education teachers are drowning in compliance tasks, documentation, and communication demands, leaving little time for instruction or connection. AI won’t replace special education teachers, but it can reduce workload, apply accommodations with fidelity, and support diverse learners through UDL-aligned scaffolding. Here’s what human-centered AI should look like in practice.
How AI Helps Special Education Teachers Save Time
In theory, special education is just good teaching. It's about supporting students in meaningful, personalized ways. But in practice, it often felt like I was spending more time behind my computer documenting and discussing support than actually providing it.
How AI Is Transforming Learning
As a former teacher, I’ve seen firsthand how classrooms, despite the best intentions, often operate on a one size fits all model. A model that simply doesn’t work for many of our students.
Doing More with Less, Why Now Is The Time to Act
As schools navigate shrinking budgets and rising demands, HiNAIA was created to help educators do more with less through an adaptive learning platform designed to support students with dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and ADHD. Grounded in cognitive science and built alongside educators, families, and clinicians, HiNAIA reimagines special education as an inclusive, continuously adaptive ecosystem that empowers every learner and lightens the load for those who teach and support them. As Founder and CEO, and as a parent, I’ve seen firsthand both the strain and the potential within our education system. This is our moment to act with intention, to innovate with empathy, and to uphold the promise of equitable learning for every student.
