Nearly half of children with disabilities in PH have no access to education during COVID19 crisis, says survey

MANILA—Nearly half of children with disabilities in the Philippines could not access educational services during the coronavirus disease 2019 crisis, an advocacy group said Thursday.

Among the factors that hindered children with disabilities from going to development centers and seeking special education services is lack of transportation and loss of income of their parents, Paaran said. “There are going to be inclusive ebooks. It will be embedded with sign language interpretation and audio will also be provided.”

Martinez said using television as a platform for education “has a great potential” because it is “much cheaper.”
