Teachers working with students who have special educational needs and disabilities in Poland during the SARS-COV-2 pandemic

The global SARS-Cov-2 epidemic brought educational systems world-wide into disarray. The actions aimed at stopping the pandemic in Poland, undertaken at the national level, caused unplanned closures of schools, kindergartens, and other educational-therapeutic institutions. The changeable rate of viral infections in Poland caused the opening and closing of educational institutions at different times. This introduced disarray in the lives of teachers, students and all those engaged in the education process: parents, national decision-makers and administrators. The research presented in this book concerns the experiences and opinions of teachers working with students who have special educational needs and disabilities during the pandemic in mainstream schools, those with inclusion classrooms and in special schools in Poland.
