Abstract
The following research aims to document the lived experiences of the Covid-19 pandemic for a group of young adults with disabilities. All participants are students of the National Learning Network and further explanation is given in the next section. The use of letter writing was conceived as the medium through which the participants could express their feelings and views of the pandemic in real time. It was deemed to be less invasive for students whilst observing ever-changing governmental public health restrictions in regard to social distancing and limiting travel.
