Abstract The classroom space of the future requires a multi-dimensional approach as a classroom for all students, including ones with disabilities. Therefore, in this study the demand for a futuristic classroom was investigated for professionals such as teachers in schools with disabilities with the ultimate purpose?to embrace students with disabilities in their transition towards a more digitalized society. Virtual space utilization scenarios were derived for each type of disability, such as visual, auditory, physical, and developmental disabilities for elementary, middle, and high schools regarding the proper spatial composition of a future classroom for the disabled. The results of this study provide basic ideas that include a deeper understanding of disability and educational meaning for future special education space composition. It is with hope that the future classroom space for the disabled will be able to fulfill its role in the realization of educational philosophy. Through this, students with disabilities will be able to respond to upcoming changes in education and take this significant experience with them beyond school.
