             Your ears aren’t deceiving you—AI has allowed me to make a new model of my voice like it was before my PSP. I hope this helps show creative ways we can empower people facing the kinds of health and accessibility challenges I have and demonstrate our abilities don’t define us.

             AI can be a scary new frontier, especially if used in the wrong ways by people with bad intentions—but it also can provide new, unimaginable, and life-changing opportunities for Americans with disabilities. I’m grateful to @elevenlabsio for helping make this possible for me.

             The study at the end of this article is really interesting. Babies using transitional probabilities to learn syllabification helps us understand language segmentation. Makes me wonder about individuals with varying abilities related to this skill.

Our mission in education is one to be proud of & I take pride in the work I get to do as a teacher.
