This study provides a bibliometric analysis of research on disability and education in Germany, Spain, Italy, and Bulgaria, focusing on thematic trends, intellectual foundations, and emerging research directions. Using data from the Web of Science database, 28 highly cited publications were selected for analysis. Co-occurrence, bibliometric coupling, and co-citation analyses were conducted to identify key themes, influential works, and interconnections within the field. The findings reveal that "disability" is central to the research, often linked to themes such as policy, education, and health. Germany emphasizes practical applications and inclusive education policies, while Spain focuses on legal frameworks and regional diversity. Italy adopts community-based approaches to integration, and Bulgaria highlights structural barriers in its transitioning educational context. Emerging trends include the role of digital learning models and the impact of global crises such as COVID-19. This study underscores the importance of interdisciplinary research and context-specific strategies to enhance inclusive education and inform global policy discussions.
