Augmented Reality (AR) is a nascent technical advancement that enables the seamless amalgamation of real-world and virtual-world data. The notion of materializing virtual information to enable its perception by human senses is a subject of significant scholarly interest, resulting in a perceptual experience that transcends the confines of conventional reality. Because of the popularity of augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and Internet support, distance learning systems with contextualized learning, gamified learning, and collaborative learning will empower all traditional classrooms or home education, rapidly adding massive learning resources. This research evaluates the current literatures related to AR as well as the influence and efficacy of AR on the education of special needs children, such as hearing impairment, intellectual disability, autism, emotional-behavioral disorders, etc. The purpose of this research is to uncover the benefits and challenges of AR, as well as recommendations and future directions, by studying pertinent situations.
