The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) significantly disrupted therapy service delivery for children with disabilities and their families. Parents of children with disabilities have been particularly impacted as a large degree of responsibility has been placed on them to both manage and deliver therapies remotely. However, little is known regarding whether sociodemographic factors are associated with parents' perceptions of therapy service delivery during COVID-19. This study explored the relationship between sociodemographic factors and parents' satisfaction with therapies for children with disabilities during COVID-19.
Two hundred seven parents of children with disabilities completed an online survey battery that included the Family-Provider Partnership Scale and sociodemographic characteristics and assessed their satisfaction with their child[ren]'s therapies during COVID-19.
Access to telehealth, receipt of only school-based therapies, parent education, number of household essential workers, and total number of children were associated with satisfaction with therapy service and/or the family-provider partnership.
By better understanding the association between sociodemographic factors and parent perception of therapy service delivery, providers can better support families in optimizing service delivery during the remainder of COVID-19 mitigation efforts and during future periods of service disruption. This study provides insight into the sociodemographic characteristics that are associated with lower levels of satisfaction and thus require more tailored support from providers.

2019 年新型冠状病毒病（COVID-19）极大地扰乱了残疾儿童及其家庭的治疗服务提供。残疾儿童的父母受到的影响尤其大，因为他们需要承担很大一部分责任，远程管理和提供治疗。然而，对于社会人口因素是否与父母在 COVID-19 期间对治疗服务提供的看法有关，知之甚少。本研究探讨了社会人口因素与父母对 COVID-19 期间残疾儿童治疗满意度之间的关系。
207 名残疾儿童的父母完成了一份在线调查，其中包括家庭-提供者伙伴关系量表以及社会人口特征，并评估了他们对孩子在 COVID-19 期间治疗的满意度。
获得远程医疗、仅接受学校为基础的治疗、家长教育、家庭中必要工作人员的数量和儿童的总数与对治疗服务和/或家庭-提供者伙伴关系的满意度相关。
通过更好地理解社会人口因素与父母对治疗服务提供的看法之间的关系，提供者可以更好地支持家庭在 COVID-19 缓解努力的剩余时间和未来服务中断期间优化服务提供。本研究深入了解了与较低满意度相关的社会人口特征，因此需要提供者提供更有针对性的支持。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
