Abstract
School education for children with disabilities
(CWD) has always been in the doldrums in India. As
per the Census 2011 (MHA, 2011), only 61 percent
of the total number of CWDs between the age group
of 5-19 years are going to school. Recent studies
(Swabhiman 2020) have also suggested a large and
increasing dropout rate of students with disabilities
due to the inaccessible digital learning landscape
(PTI, 2020). The situation has worsened with the
spread of COVID because regular classes have
abruptly shifted to digital modes and have sharply
increased difficulties for CWDs, their parents and
teachers. The pandemic has created unanticipated
reliance on digital education- a relatively new and
uncharted territory for these children.
