The purpose of this research is to evaluate the distance education given to children with special education needs during the COVID-19 pandemic process by the parents. Within the scope of the research, 350 parents who have children between the ages of 7 and 12 who need special education were reached. The data collection tool used for the research is the survey form named Parent Opinions on Special Education Continuing with Distance Education during the COVID-19 Epidemic (COVID-19 UESÖEG) developed by the researchers. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. In the study, it was concluded that although distance special education services are regular, distance education is not efficient due to the different learning levels of children, economic burden returns and the increase in the time allocated for care. Difficulties experienced by parents in relation to distance special education; Parents' lack of knowledge about the subject, unsuitable home environment and insufficient time in completing homework were grouped under the headings. Within the scope of the research, the suggestions made by parents with children in need of special education in order to benefit more from the distance education they received during the COVID-19 pandemic period are that more appropriate support should be provided, the school-home relationship should be more and more flexible hours should be set for studies.
