Differently-abled Community
People with developmental and intellectual disabilities have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic (COVID-19). There is heightened risk for people with disabilite, either due to medical conditions and more.
There are different disability types including:
-
People who cannot verbally communicate their symptoms of COVID-19
-
People with comprehension difficulties involving safety measures (for themselves and others), or understanding information about the virus
-
People with limited mobility, those who cannot avoid close contact with people who may be infected, such as family and support providers/caregivers.
