This study examines how to equip specially-abled learners with the 21st-century skills needed to thrive in today's rapidly changing technological landscape. Guided by four objectives, it explores the impact of technology on student participation, teaching strategies to improve interpersonal, problem-solving and critical thinking skills independent of technology, learning resources like creativity and cooperation to develop 21st-century abilities, and professional development for instructors on promoting teaching skills beyond technological competence. The goal is to enable students of all abilities to reach their full potential through inclusive education that goes beyond mere technological aptitude. This transformative research points the way toward successfully equipping learners with special needs with the skills required to prosper in our globally connected, fast-paced society.
