Utilizing Blockchain Technology in Special Needs Education and Treatment: A Comprehensive Review and Analysis

Blockchain technology, initially developed as the foundational infrastructure for cryptocurrency transactions, has evolved far beyond its financial origins to emerge as a transformative tool across numerous sectors. This comprehensive review examines the application and potential of blockchain technology in special needs education and treatment, with particular emphasis on its capacity to revolutionize data privacy, personalize educational experiences, and facilitate equitable resource distribution. Through extensive analysis of current literature, empirical studies, and real-world implementations, this research identifies critical gaps in existing knowledge while proposing detailed hypotheses for future investigation. Our findings demonstrate that blockchain technology can fundamentally transform educational accessibility and operational efficiency in special needs contexts, while simultaneously addressing long-standing challenges in data security and resource allocation. The study presents substantial evidence supporting the integration of blockchain solutions in special needs education, while also acknowledging implementation challenges and proposing strategic approaches for overcoming these obstacles.
