I teach a course in disability in education settings and about 10% of learning disabilities are a writing disorder called dysgraphia. You can think of it like a writing version of dyslexia (which is like, 80% of learning disabilities). LLMs are absolutely a reasonable accomodation in this case as well because it can help people who have trouble putting their thoughts into words.
That’s just one example, and generally what I teach is scaffolding – that is, you try not to over rely on tools and use them when needed to improve learning when learning would otherwise not be possible. After all, dyslexic people still need to be able to read on occasion, and dysgrapic people need to be able to write, and so on.
(And do keep on mind I teach and LLMs are a bit of a nightmare in grading so do understand I say this use case still very much not a pro-AI person, lol)
