Considerations for Teachers Providing Distance Learning to Students with Disabilities

This brief was produced in May 2020 by a “nonpartisan, nonprofit research, development, and service agency that partners with education and other communities throughout the United States and abroad to promote excellence, achieve equity, and improve learning for children, youth, and adults.” It is aimed at teachers supporting students with a range of disabilities through remote learning made necessary by the pandemic. It lists questions and considerations teachers can work through to determine the best solution, includes ”dos and don’ts”,and links to resources and examples. The brief breaks the information down into 5 key teaching/learning components: supportive distance teaching and learning environment; student engagement; lesson design and instructional resources; social-emotional support; and executive function capacity.
