If you’ve heard of AI tools like ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Copilot, or Claude, you might wonder how they fit into special education advocacy—and whether they’re safe to use for something as sensitive as your child’s IEP, 504 Plan, or accommodations.

The Privacy Risks of General AI Tools

Most AI platforms store, analyze, and even use your data to train their models. That means your child’s private educational and medical details could be retained, shared, or monetized for advertising and partnerships—often without clear transparency.


🚨 Who has access to your child’s information?

🚨 Is your data being stored, shared, or repurposed?

🚨 Could this information be used in ways you don’t consent to?
