I have this code:
for dir in abc*/ ; do
echo $dir
done
This works, but I have one special directory (lets say its called "special-dir"). How can I add that to my loop, I am thinking somthing like:
for dir in abc*/ + "special-dir" ; do
echo $dir
done
Obvously that does not work!, but I can't quite think how to do this.

The path expansion just expands the glob to list of the actual directories. Word list is space separated, so just use space to separate the next element of the list:
for dir in abc*/ special-dir ; do
echo "$dir"
done
