CDC: COVID-19 Materials for People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
Source: COVID-19 Materials for People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities and Care Providers
COVID-19 is challenging to explain, live through, and talk about. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has created COVID-19 materials for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and care providers. The materials (videos, posters, social stories and interactive activities) were created to help make communicating about COVID-19 a little easier. Topics include the COVID-19 shot, hand washing, getting a COVID-19 test, wearing a mask, and keeping a safe distance from others until vaccinated.
These materials are also available in Spanish.
