Abstract

With remote learning being anticipated to continue throughout the rest of COVID-19's duration, how can the United States make education more accessible to students with disabilities? The policy discussed in this paper covers impediments ranging from physical disabilities (visual and auditory impairments) as well as mental disabilities, such as ADHD, autism, and depression/anxiety. By implementing assistive technologies and flexible schedules for these students, this policy seeks to make online education navigable and attainable to all students.
