The education transition to remote or distance learning that the whole world experienced due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the lack of research concerning people with disabilities during the pandemic, were the motivation for the presented research. Therefore, this paper presents a study into the issue of the effectiveness of distance learning for students with disabilities. The main objectives of this paper are to investigate whether distance learning is an effective approach for students with disabilities, to reveal any barriers and limitations affecting its effectiveness, and to suggest possible solutions. The approach adopted in this study was mixed methodology of both qualitative and quantitative approaches based on interpretive paradigm that allows the use of both approaches. The instruments used in this study are questionnaires and interviews. The questionnaires used close -ended questions as well as a semi-structured interviewing strategy. The findings of this research revealed three main issues that require more attention. These include the need for relevant policies that consider the preparation for distance learning at any time for students with disabilities and any intervention needed. Secondly, the availability of special resources needs to be considered, as required. Thirdly, the interaction between schools and families is an important consideration, as well as the recognition by the society of the needs of people with disabilities.
