This study investigates the impact of COVID-19 on physical disability, screen time and psychological well-being among Jordanian children with disabilities in the (5–11) age range. A total of 119 parents with disabled children between (5-11) years of age were asked to fill out a survey that included a set of questions to measure their children’s physical disability, screen time and psychological well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. Being irritable (65.6%), dependent on us (63.1%), bored (62.2%), nervous (58.8%), reluctant (57.1%), worried when one of us leaves the house (54.4%) and cried easily (54.4%) were the most frequently reported symptoms by parents during the COVID-19 pandemic.
