Abstract

This chapter focuses on exploring the experiences of children with disabilities in inclusive education during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Through a thorough literature review and thematic analysis of narratives provided by children in the UAE, the study aims to understand the complexities of inclusive education, identify the challenges faced by these children, and highlight factors that contribute to their inclusion. The research questions guiding this study are centered around the experiences, issues, and pivotal factors ensuring inclusion of children with disabilities in the UAE during the pandemic. The themes that emerged shed light on their concerns, interactions, strategies, and recommendations, providing valuable insights into the specific challenges and opportunities within the UAE context. The importance of cultural sensitivity, collaboration among stakeholders, and targeted support systems are highlighted as key elements in ensuring inclusive education for children with disabilities in the UAE.
