The covid 19 pandemic has financially disrupted lives globally , with far reaching problems and consequences across various sectors. One area that has been significantly affected was education, especially for students with disabilities.
Limited access to gadget:
Students with disabilities depend upon support systems such as specialised educators and therapists etc…They need assistive devices,for example voice recognising devices like Alexa to easily connect to systems for online classes.
Reduced social engagement:
Isolation has affected all the students but for students with disabilities, social engagement has reduced drastically leading to mental depression, feeling of loneliness, lack of communication skills etc..
Challenges of remote learning:
The covid 19 pandemic has become a norm during pandemic, but it presents a new level of obstacles for students with disabilities. Many struggles with technology blockade, inaccessible digital material and difficulties in concentrating online classes.some need assistive devices like Alexa which may not readily available at home leading to frustration and hindering their performance in academics
Increased educational inequality :
The covid 19 has aggravated educational inequality across the world, and students with disabilities is the most affected. Those from low income family often faced additional problems like lack of supportive home environment and network issues etc… making it more difficult for them to catch up
Conclusion:
The problems faced by students with disabilities cannot be understated. The consequences faced by students with disabilities have been highlighted.Hope now covid 19 is completely disappeared, educational institutions and schools can now work together to bridge the gap.
