Introduction
Special education, which caters to students with various neurological, psychological, and physical disabilities, has faced numerous challenges, ranging from limited resources to individualized teaching needs. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 15% of the global population lives with some form of disability, and a significant proportion of these individuals are children who require specialized educational interventions to thrive in academic environments. These students have diverse cognitive, emotional, physical, and developmental needs that often necessitate customized educational approaches and support systems. Despite global efforts to improve inclusive education, traditional methods are still not capable enough to provide personalized attention and adaptive learning environments, ultimately leaving many students without the necessary resources to succeed.
