Summary/Abstract: arents of children with disabilities are under more pressure than typical children. Moreover, the pandemic has brought additional challenges to those already in the families of children with special needs. The present study investigated what were the most important challenges these parents faced (emotional, educational, time management, financial, recovery-related challenges), but also the fact that they became teachers for children with SEN, or even took over certain responsibilities from therapists so as not to stagnate the recovery of their children. Many of them have experienced episodes of depression and anxiety.
