Educating students with autism through ICT during the COVID-19 pandemic
Taxiarchis Vouglanis, Anna Maria Driga
Abstract
The closure of schools due to the pandemic led to the forced implementation of distance education. For students with autism, this also meant an interruption of the support they were receiving. Parents were asked to provide this support without having the proper training. The interruption of the operation of schools and the transfer of education to the home, also meant a change in the routine of autistic children, an element that caused them an even greater burden.
