Contemporary methods of teaching history to students with disabilities have evolved to cater to diverse learning needs and promote inclusive education. This abstract explores the innovative strategies employed to engage and empower students with disabilities in history classrooms. The use of technology, such as multimedia presentations, interactive simulations, and virtual reality, enhances accessibility and fosters a deeper understanding of historical events. Differentiated instruction techniques, including visual aids, graphic organizers, and hands-on activities, accommodate various learning styles and abilities. Collaborative learning approaches promote peer interaction, cooperative problem-solving, and critical thinking skills. Additionally, the incorporation of inclusive language, diverse perspectives, and culturally relevant content ensures that students with disabilities feel represented and valued within the history curriculum. Teachers play a crucial role in implementing these methods, requiring specialized training, flexibility, and a focus on individualized support. The contemporary methods discussed in this abstract contribute to creating a supportive and inclusive learning environment that enables students with disabilities to actively participate and thrive in history education. ‎
