Children with disabilities faces challenges in facing the challenges in doing day today activities. Among the most promising applications is its use in enhancing the lives of children with physical, sensory, and cognitive impairments. This paper explores how AI technologies are shaping inclusive environments across education, communication, mobility, and healthcare. It examines both the opportunities and challenges posed by AI, including ethical considerations, data privacy, and access disparities. The paper also highlights successful case studies and offers recommendations for the development of inclusive and equitable AI-driven systems.
