Summary/Abstract: Introduction: Remote education of students with special educational needs was related to overcoming many challenges and limitations, related to, among others, the implementation of the core curriculum, levelling the differences between students, the care and educational work of the school, and close cooperation between parents and teachers.Research Aim: The aim of the research was to find out the opinions of parents of students with special educational needs about remote education.Method: The research used the diagnostic survey method, and the research technique used was a questionnaire. The research tool was a prepared electronic questionnaire, which enabled the collection of responses from respondents.Results: The students had good housing conditions for remote work. The main technical problems they faced were connected with data transmission and Internet connection. The key problems related to learning were difficulties with focusing attention on lessons during online classes, decreased motivation to learn, and fatigue resulting from constant work at the computer. Students with higher IT and media competences were more independent during their distance education.Conclusions: Students with special educational needs are a very diverse group and no unambiguous assessment of remote education can be presented, for some it was a difficult or even lost time, for others it was a time when they could develop their skills and strengthen their academic competences.
