The first report to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the learning experiences of young people with disabilities has been published. Researchers at University College Cork (UCC) examined how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected young people with disabilities’ experience of learning and vocational training, and what we can learn from this about future education and employment practices which enable people with disabilities’ inclusion. The study, “Learning Disrupted,” explores the challenges that faced young people and service providers in transitioning to online learning and training during lockdown, but also the potential of virtual technologies to enable greater flexibility in how people with disabilities participate in education and employment beyond the pandemic.
