Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting social distancing has turned our habits and interpersonal relationship upside-down. Many families had to face a reality that was utterly different from their everyday life, in which working spaces and private ones blended, leading to put intrafamilial relationships through the wringer. For those families with disabled children, facing the problems accentuated by the pandemic has been even more difficult. The COVID-19 pandemic pointed out significant weaknesses in the educational systems, such as their incapability of ensuring a process of integration and inclusion for those fragile categories which needed further support. It made clear that society needs flexible and solid educational approaches in order to guarantee a high-quality school to everyone. Starting from the scenery created by the pandemic earthquake, this essay aims to propose a reflection on the complex educational situation that came together with the lockdown and still exists nowadays, as well as on the negative impact on the development of inclusive processes and on the learning level of many students, especially the more vulnerableI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
