A Self-
Advocate’s
Guide to
COVID-19
The Coronavirus or COVID-19 is changing our lives in many ways for a while. As of March 9, 2020 Green Mountain Self-Advocates has been co-hosting 3 zoom meetings a week. In response to our conversations we have created this toolkit about the Coronavirus. It focuses on “need to know” information. Our goal is to for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to have plain language information during this national crisis. Click on the title of any of the parts below to download it:
Part 1: Basic Covid-19 Information By And For People With Disabilities
