Abstract :
Even in this fast moving technological world, nothing productive has been done on educational grounds for the disabled people. There is no a single institute in this world provides a system where students with impaired vision and/or hearing disability can sit in common classroom with normal students to acquire pioneer education. The fundamental idea behind this paper is to convert the heterogeneous education system (HeES) into homogeneous education system (HoES) i.e. to provide a platform to special students by using speech technology, artificial intelligence and mathematical concepts. The proposed learning and collaboration system, which has been pilot-tested, is expected to provide the best possible education to special people so that they can be confident and stand firm in this world and compete with individuals.
