N2 - This review examines empirical studies from 2014 to 2024 published in the Journal of Special Education Technology (JSET), focusing on technology’s role in supporting individuals with disabilities. Removing non-empirical publications yielded 154 studies, which were analyzed for technology type, disability focus, methodologies, and content areas. Results highlighted the increasing diversity and individualized application of technology in special education. However, gaps in research remain, particularly for underrepresented disabilities and long-term intervention impacts. Future research needs to prioritize replication, broader disability representation, and evaluation of emerging technologies to bridge equity gaps and enhance educational outcomes for all students. Findings underscore technology’s potential to foster accessibility and personalized learning in special education.
