From a mental health perspective, undergraduate special education students are considered a vulnerable population in which resilience plays a critical role in maintaining emotional stability. Currently, in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, university students have been described as experiencing an increase in anxiety or depressive symptoms, decreased levels of resilience, and decreased ability to maintain interpersonal relationships. The ability to establish and maintain interpersonal relationships may also be negatively affected by mild cognitive and communication difficulties. Furthermore, the combination of a reduction in resilience, an increase in stress and the use of disadvantageous coping strategies has the potential to negatively impact academic performance, social interactions, and future careers.
