There is an immediate and pressing need for research that examines the impact of COVID-19-related school disruptions on children with disabilities. Estimates of learning impact have suggested that students have lost approximately one-fifth of a school year (Engzel et al., 2020), with substantial strain on caregivers as parents have adopted the roles of both caretaker and educator (Fontenelle-Tereshchuck, 2021). Children and adolescents with disabilities, such as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are likely at enhanced risk for negative outcomes from these disruptions as their disorder-specific impairments (e.g., inattention) may limit their ability to engage with remote instruction and cause substantial parent-child conflict.The symposium represents the experience of children with disabilities across the United States, Canada, and Europe. Aims of the current symposium are to review factors that predict children’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and to mitigation efforts (e.g., remote instruction), and how these factors can be leveraged to modify treatments or supports for children with ADHD and related behavioral difficulties. We provide public health and educational policy implications, as well as directions for future large-scale health or disaster events.
