In the article ChatGPT as an assistive technology to enhance reading comprehension for individuals with ADHD, researchers explore the integration of ChatGPT as an assistive technology to facilitate reading comprehension for learners with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ADHD (Ramdijidi & Billai 2023). Chat GPT is a tool that was made available to the public in November 2023. Since its inception, researchers have explored how ChatGPT can be integrated into education. According to Ramdijidi and Billai (2023), there is limited research on how assistive technologies can assist individuals with neurodivergent cognitive disabilities such as ADHD. Ramdijidi & Billai (2023) emphasize the fact that ADHD is one of the most prevalent cognitive disabilities and that many individuals with ADHD have significant reading comprehension concerns and working memory challenges.
In this study, the participants ranged in age from 18 to 45. Researchers recruited individuals with ADHD from an organization for students with disabilities. In the study, there were two groups of participants: one study group with an ADHD diagnosis consisting of nine participants and one control group without an ADHD diagnosis, which included five participants. Each participant group was given two reading comprehension tests: one reading assessment with ChatGPT and one without. The results of the study were fascinating. The study implied a slight decline in reading comprehension in both groups using ChatGPT. However, individuals who reported familiarity with ChatGPT had an increase in reading comprehension. The researchers of this study acknowledged several limitations: small sample size, one-time testing, remote testing setup, and lack of familiarity with ChatGPT.
ADHD is a common learning disability that can impact learners in various ways, such as poor organization, procrastination, and low self-esteem. Even neurotypical learners can struggle with complex subjects in poorly designed courses. However, the ChatGPT platform can help bridge the learning gap for students with learning disabilities like ADHD, providing personalized feedback and support without judgment. Many students are hesitant to disclose their learning challenges, but ChatGPT can assist these learners. Future research can explore how ChatGPT can be integrated to support deep learning and help instructors design effective learning models using ChatGPT. With innovations such as ChatGPT it is an exciting time to be researching educational technology!
