The authors explore the experience of ten students with disabilities (SWD) "using thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews". 

"Three themes emerged: (1) having control over studies as an advantage of online learning, (2) personal touch helps SWD’s online learning, and (3) challenges SWD experience with the social element of online learning."
