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.
