COVID-19 and the Field of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities: Where Have We Been? Where Are We? Where Do We Go?
Thompson, James R.; Nygren, Margaret A.
Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, v58 n4 p257-261 Aug 2020
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has affected, and will continue to affect, every aspect of the intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) community. We provide recommendations to (a) support people with IDD and the broader of field of IDD during the course of the pandemic, and (b) place the IDD community in a strong position when the health threats associated with the pandemic abate and post-pandemic social and policy structures are formed.
