The findings of the study have shown that the majority of barriers faced by students with disabilities during online PdP during the Covid-19 pandemic season were barriers in completing group assignments with a high level. Furthermore, the level of the overall barriers faced by students with disabilities is at a moderate level. As for the views of OKU students, the majority of OKU students are very affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. While the effective PdP method for students with disabilities during the pandemic season varies. In conclusion, the effective mode of learning and teaching for OKU UKM students during the pandemic season depends on the type of disability of the OKU students.
