Abstract
  • Research was conducted to determine parental involvement among parents who are using distance learning. Parental involvement refers to the level of involvement a parent has in his or her children's education. Parental involvement in a child's education has been found to be consistently related to a child's academic performance. The current study used a sample of five parents who have children with special needs to conduct an online interview to determine the challenges and current experiences encountered by the parents during distance learning. The findings revealed a significant relationship between parental involvement and a child's academic performance. All the parents are in favor of distance learning, in which the setup does not require or demand that they attend school in person. Most of the parents of a child with special needs have seek and have their child evaluated or diagnosed by specialized doctors. Parental involvement has a significant role in the improvement of the academic performance of the learners. Clemente’s framework is based on how distance learning is satisfactory in the learning process despite the problems in the delivery of distance learning among students with special needs and is still the same as the delivery in a traditional classroom.
