Abstract

The global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on the learning of children around the world. This chapter explores five educators’ experiences teaching and observing students with disabilities included in general education classrooms in the United States during the pandemic. Qualitative analyses revealed three salient components to championing inclusive practices during the pandemic: (a) focusing on social emotional well-being; (b) ensuring academic access; and (c) fostering family/caregiver partnerships. Practical examples and resources to guide educators in providing inclusive and equitable pedagogies during the pandemic are included.
