Abstract: This case study examines the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to transform mathematics teaching for secondary school students with special educational needs (SEN). Through the integration of adaptive learning environments, intelligent tutoring systems, and AI-driven assistive technology, teachers can design personal, accessible learning experiences. This study documents a six-month rollout of AI solutions across a mainstream secondary school with SEN students, measuring quantitative performance indicators and qualitative mathematics teachers and learner feedback. Evidence is present in the form of stark spikes in engagement, comprehension, and examination outcomes, as well as challenges encountered through accessibility and ethics. The research validates the fact that AI, if implemented properly, can reduce the disparity in mathematics education for neurodiversity learners, with the potential for an inclusive model to scale.
