Abstract. Education in the 21st century is called upon to prepare students with disabilities to
enter a high-consciousness society where people can learn, think and react fast. The current
review paper aims at investigating the role of fast learning in special education. We trace the
essential indicators of speed learning with a special focus on those factors that are most relevant
to learning disabilities. Afterward, we present evidence-based training techniques and strategies
that rapidly rewire the brain and speed up learning. In addition, we examine the role of ICTs as
essential training tools in speed learning. Finally, we discuss the role of metacognition in training
fast and conscious learners. The results of this review showed that speed learning training
techniques improve all those factors that accelerate learning such as spatial attention, visual span,
processing speed, speed reaction, executive functions, metacognition, and consciousness. Most
important, fast learning strategies meliorate control processes and spatial intelligence which is
extremely fast and powerful. Metacognition provides learners with all those meta-abilites needed
to enter a state of peak performance. This study also points to the option of including speed
training strategies in schools to create inclusive learning environments and help students with or
without disabilities to transcend their limitations and become conscious and high-capacity
learners.

1.   Introduction
Experts suggest that if one wants to learn faster, he/she has to think with a beginner's
mind or as a child. Indeed, a child's brain can master anything faster. Research has already
revealed that children have the potential to learn extremely fast even faster than adults. For
instance, children can learn causal relationships more quickly than adults and make far-reaching
causal inferences from what they observe. They also are more likely than adults to generalize
