And\u00a0an astounding 59% of parents of those with learning and thinking differences say their children are a year behind because of the pandemic and may never catch up, while only 16% of typical parents \u2014\u00a0those whose children have not exhibited signs or have not been diagnosed with a learning difference \u2014\u00a0believe their children are behind in their studies.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, 44% of parents of children with learning and thinking differences say their child&#8217;s legal right to access an equitable education has been abandoned since\u00a0the move to remote learning.<\/p>\n<p><b>Emotional Consequences <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Children\u00a0with learning and thinking differences have been particularly impacted emotionally by the pandemic&#8217;s schooling changes, which has driven high levels of concern and anxiety at home. <\/p>\n<p>Almost half of all parents (48%) have noticed behavioral changes in their children since the start of the pandemic\u00a0and an equal percentage (48%) of those with learning and thinking differences report suffering high to extreme levels of school-based anxiety since the pandemic, more than double the rate among typical children. The study also found: <\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Children with learning and thinking differences are also about three times as likely to have experienced depression related to schooling changes. <\/li>\n<li>The stress related to distance learning has been much higher for those with learning and thinking differences versus those without\u00a0(65% vs. 44%), resulting in emotional distress (61% vs. 36%), physical symptoms (57% vs. 30%), avoidance of attending classes (47% vs. 23%) and more. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Financial Implications <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Additionally,\u00a043% of all parents say they are facing a financial burden because of their children&#8217;s remote learning. <\/p>\n<p>However, when comparing the two parental groups, almost twice as many (56% vs. 30%) parents of children with learning and thinking differences say providing their child with the academic supports they need has put a major financial burden on their family. <\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>77% of parents are investing a significant amount of both time and money to support their children\u00a0with learning and thinking differences to keep pace academically amid the COVID-19 pandemic. <\/li>\n<li>Buying supplemental software and apps, hiring personal tutors, and cutting back hours at work are the most common steps that parents have taken to support their children during the pandemic. <\/li>\n<li>Twice as many (49% vs. 25%) parents of children with learning and thinking differences are concerned about the &#8220;summer slide,&#8221; the loss of academic skills and knowledge during summer vacation, compared to those of typical children. <\/li>\n<li>The majority (86%) of parents of children with learning and thinking differences are planning on summer academic supports compared to just half of parents of typical children.\u00a0 <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Conducted in <span class=\"xn-chron\">April 2021<\/span>, Understood&#8217;s &#8220;Pandemic Learning Impact Study&#8221; leveraged quantitative data from a total of 1,500 parents of both neurotypical children and those with learning and thinking differences across the U.S. to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted children academically and emotionally. The survey polled parents of children between the ages of 5-18, with 62% identifying as White\/Caucasian, 25% as Black\/African American, 5% as Asian and 1% as Native-American. Twenty-five percent of the parents identified as Hispanic\/Latino.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Full study results are available upon request.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>About Understood<br \/><\/i><\/b><i>1 in 5 Americans have learning and thinking differences, such as ADHD and dyslexia.
