Abstract
The article deals with some aspects of studying the emotional sphere of students with disabilities in the period of distance learning connecting with the spread of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19. A research scheme has been developed and implemented to identify correlations between the indicators of the emotional sphere and satisfaction of distance learning. The investigation is based on the study results of 64 students with sensory and physical disorders and somatic diseases studying at Transbaikal State University. Before moving to distance educational technologies during the pandemic, all students were studied in traditional, full-time education form. The diagnostic data analysis showed significant relationships between emotional indicators, as well as emotional ones with parameters of satisfaction with distance learning in students with disabilities.
