In this text, we present narrative research conducted with children with disabilities, in which we aimed to investigate the meanings that these children attribute to their school experiences in the context of emergency remote education and, from their sayings, to stress the challenges that arise for the schooling process of these students amid the pandemic scenario. For this purpose, narratives were collected from five children aged 9 and 10 years (Ignatius, Fidel, Rosa, Leon, and Natalia), which allowed us an analysis of how they experienced remote teaching (boredom, hope, longing, fear), and the repercussions they felt with the changes created by this situation. Their narratives reveal that family members began to play a major role in monitoring their school lives: support in performing activities performed at home, contact with the school and teachers to withdraw, and return these activities in the school institution. The fact that the central concerns of schools focus on learning, has led these children to be accompanied individually by special education teachers, thus increasing the segregation of these children are victims of, highlighting the importance of taking care of processes that, when requiring the use of technologies, do not dispense with the guarantee of alternative forms of socialization.
