How COVID-19 May Change the World of Services to People With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
|October 8, 2020
Abstract:
The COVID-19 epidemic caused disruption and dislocation in the lives of people with disabilities, their families, and providers.

Based on a canvas of leaders in our field, I propose a way of outlining a reimagined system.
