Only 20% of undergraduate students with disabilities reported increased satisfaction due to online learning during the COVID‐19 pandemic; a third of undergraduate students with disabilities reported no change in their satisfaction when classes went fully online; and the remainder were less satisfied with their experiences, compared to learning before the pandemic. Those findings come from a report published by the Center for Higher Education Studies that examined the experiences of undergraduate students with physical, learning, neurodevelopmental, and cognitive disabilities during the pandemic.
