ABLE National Resource Center Response to Coronavirus
/The ABLE National Resource Center (ABLE NRC), managed by National Disability Institute (NDI), has been closely monitoring the situation surrounding the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, pandemic. The coronavirus is unprecedented and we are working to identify ways to address the challenges of this moment in our country’s history and how it intersects with the important work we do on behalf of the disability community that we serve. As such, we are actively working to develop materials for people with disabilities and others with chronic health conditions to help them maintain their financial stability and security during the COVID-19 outbreak.
We would like to share this excellent article by disability advocate, Andrew Pulrang, that recently ran in Forbes Magazine: 5 Things to Know About Coronavirus and People with Disabilities. We hope you find it helpful.
In addition, the CDC has released coronavirus.gov, a new website to share CDC updates on COVID-19. The website provides ways in which the community can take measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in different settings.
Please stay tuned for more information that will be coming out from us.
Be well and be safe.
Miranda Kennedy, M.P.P.
Director, ABLE NRC
