The study seeks to understand and reflect upon the attitudes of the parents of ADHD diagnosed children concerning the most predominant challenges of distance learning during isolation in the Covid 19 pandemic. To achieve this goal, the researchers conducted a descriptive study using an electronic survey on a sample of 28 parents of citizens and residents in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi / United Arab Emirates. The attitudes of parents of students with special needs towards the most prominent challenges of distance learning indicated a high degree of concern on their part. The study recommends conducting in-depth studies that reveal the existence of statistically significant differences in the respondents' answers resulting from some demographic variables such as nationality (citizen, resident) and the educational attainment of parents.
