   This study explores the potential applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in the context of special education. The discussion focuses on those areas of special needs education in which the implementation of AI is already supported by empirical evidence and practical experience. Accordingly, the study examines the potential uses of AI in the following domains: 1) personalized learning and adaptive educational methods; 2) the development of communication and social skills; 3) assistive technologies and accessibility supported by AI; 4) the role of AI in early diagnosis and intervention; and 5) AI-based support for teachers and assistance in designing and implementing individual development plans (IEPs).

  Resilient living involves following characteristics that develop effective adaptive mechanisms in the individual. These mechanisms can contribute effectively to coping with the negative stressors we face in our daily lives. These characteristics should be examined not in a static way, but through the constantly changing internal and external conditions. In our research, we sought to answer the question of the relationship between the components of students' physical activity and their psychological coping strategies at the Faculty of Child Education and Special Education, University of Debrecen. Two validated questionnaires were used in the study. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used to measure physical activity, and the Hungarian adaptation of the 25-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) was used to measure resilience characteristics. The study was conducted in February 2025 (n=303, correspondence n=188, full-time n=115). Studies have shown that the type of sporting activity students participate in influences their coping skills. All of the factors related to resilience are positively associated with respondents' sporting activities. In seven of the twenty-five questions, a significant correlation was found between stronger coping skills and the type of sporting activity undertaken in the present. Unsurprisingly, the strongest associations were found for perseverance, overcoming difficulties, initiative in problem solving, positive self-image and maintaining a good mood when comparing those who regularly engaged in sporting activities with their inactive peers. The same results were obtained when the components of physical activity (factors related to work/transport/household/leisure sports) were also compared separately with factors related to mental resilience. Overall, some types of household work and higher levels of sporting activities (competitive and recreational) have a positive effect on individuals' coping skills.
