Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to outline the experiences of children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and their families during the coronavirus pandemic Design/methodology/approach: This paper draws on research gathered and collated by three different organisations working with families of children and young people with SEND Findings: There were a number of common findings across all three surveys In particular: the rapid collapse of external support for children and families;the reduction/withdrawal of support exacerbated the stress and exhaustion already experienced by many families;it proved very difficult to establish home learning and get adequate support from schools;there was little government recognition of families’ vulnerability and need for support;and, paradoxically, a significant minority of children and families reported increased well-being Originality/value: Findings carry clear implications both for the provision of child and family support during any further lockdowns and, more generally, in respect of government policy and funding of family support © 2020, Emerald Publishing Limited

目的：本文的目的是概述有特殊教育需要和残疾 (SEND) 的儿童及其家人在冠状病毒大流行期间的经历 设计/方法/途径：本文借鉴了三个不同组织收集和整理的研究有 SEND 调查结果的儿童和青少年家庭：所有三项调查都有一些共同的发现，特别是：对儿童和家庭的外部支持迅速崩溃；支持的减少/撤回加剧了许多人已经经历的压力和疲惫家庭；事实证明，建立家庭学习并从学校获得足够的支持非常困难；政府几乎没有认识到家庭的脆弱性和对支持的需求；而且，自相矛盾的是，极少数儿童和家庭报告福祉有所提高 原创性/价值：调查结果对在任何进一步封锁期间提供儿童和家庭支持，以及更广泛地说，在政府政策和家庭支持资金方面都有明确的影响 © 2020 , 翡翠出版有限公司
