The transition to distance learning poses unique challenges for students with disabilities. Many districts are trying to provide lessons and therapy online, but some parents feel their children are being left behind.

“It was extremely disappointing to hear that some school districts were using information from the Department of Education as an excuse not to educate kids,” DeVos said in a March 23 statement. “This is a time for creativity and an opportunity to pursue as much flexibility as possible so that learning continues.”

“We can’t replicate the general education curriculum in the home, so we’re not trying to replicate the special education program either,” said Traci Hogan, Greenville’s assistant superintendent for special education services. “It’s not perfect on our end, and we don’t expect it to be perfect on their end.”

Some districts say it will be hard to avoid learning setbacks, especially in skills that are tougher to teach from afar. Honing social skills amid social distancing mandates, for example, has already proved challenging. “There are lots of barriers, but we can find lots of ways to work around them,” said Grillo, of Lafayette, Indiana. “Our field has never felt the urgency that it feels right now.”

90% of children are being left behind. Unless you have an extraordinary teacher that is going above and beyond. Everyone is in the same boat. We have to realize that and take it upon ourselves to make things better.
