Abstract
This study explores the perspectives of Special Education and inclusion teachers on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the modular approach to teaching learners with disabilities. Employing both quantitative and qualitative research designs, this research utilized data mining techniques, including interviews and a three-part questionnaire, to gather insights. Participants included teachers who either completed the questionnaire or participated in interviews. The collected data were analyzed thematically, revealing that the pandemic's influence on the modular approach significantly affected the delivery of instruction, learner participation, and the professional roles and personal attitudes of teachers. Key findings indicate that these effects compromised the perceived progress of learners with disabilities and challenged the relevance of current special and inclusive education programs. The study highlights substantial educational gaps in the modular approach, underscoring the urgent need for a comprehensive training plan to address these deficiencies. This research contributes to an understanding of the pandemic's disruptions and offers foundational insights for policymakers and educators aiming to enhance the efficacy of disability education in post-pandemic scenarios.
