Title A name given to the resource COVID-19 response: Considerations for Children and Adults with Disabilities Subject The topic of the resource Considerations for Children and Adults with Disabilities Description An account of the resource A response document produced by the United Nations Agency UNICEF. It outlines the increased risk factors associated with people with a disability, including potentially reduced access to information and response measures. The document warns that “Girls and boys with disabilities may be at risk of exclusion from education if remote/ distance learning programmes are not accessible or they do not have assistive devices to allow participation and accommodate learning needs”. The document outlines ‘what we need to do’ (the ‘we’ appearing to be UNICEF workers and associates) to mitigate both the primary (catching COVID) and secondary impacts on this cohort, stressing the importance of inclusion and monitoring. Action related to the above warning is “Provide support to education actors to ensure that distance learning platforms are safe and accessible to children with disabilities; teachers are trained on supporting children with disabilities remotely; and that any special education programmes are included in measures to ensure continuity of education. Provide support to caregivers of children with disabilities, including those with development and/or intellectual disabilities, in implementing specific consideration when managing care and education of their children at home, and their own mental health and psychosocial wellbeing”.

Title A name given to the resource Critical Review of Setback in Development in Young Children with Congenital Blindness or Visual Impairment Subject The topic of the resource Development in Young Children with Congenital Blindness or Visual Impairment Description An account of the resource This academic article takes Dale and Salt’s 2008 Dale review paper on presumed developmental setback (DS) in children aged 16-27 months with blindness and visual impairment. It reflects on the paucity and complexity of extant data (and the challenges of acquiring ‘clean’ data) on the development of children who are blind or have low vision because of comorbidities, low incidence, misdiagnosis around ASD, communication barriers and group heterogeneity. The authors note the alignment of existing literature results with their own clinical experience and analyses of clinical records: cautiously finding that a range of factors appear to lead to a 25-33% risk of DS in the second year of life. The authors main recommendation is for a longitudinally designed monitoring study to better identify the causing and mitigating factors that the article outlines in its ‘discussion’ section. The article describes the author’s methodology, includes tables reflecting the findings of literature reviews and includes an extensive bibliography.

Title A name given to the resource Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on people living with visual disability Subject The topic of the resource Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on people living with visual disability Description An account of the resource People living with visual disabilities/impairment are more likely vulnerable to get contracted from the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV 2) than people without visual impairment. This means more than 253 million people globally will be at higher risk of affecting by the COVID-19. The current pandemic, followed by a nationwide emergency lockdown to slow the unprecedented spread of the virus, will have a serious impact on people living with visual disabilities and even endangers their lives in the long run. Many restrictive and control measures, including the adoption of new behavioural changes (for example, social distance during outdoor movement, limiting touch or tactile contact) recommended by the government will pose immense challenges to individuals with a visual loss. This serious impact, including challenges in healthcare access, can be minimized through inclusive service approaches, involving persons with visual disabilities, caregivers, family members, and healthcare providers, along with the community to a large extent, and finally, support to improve the overall outcomes. The government, along with profit or non-profit private sectors, should consider initiating such inclusive approaches while planning responses to the pandemic. Indeed, the present COVID-19 pandemic provides an opportunity for health care planners and decision-makers of various organizations across India for a reformation of disabilities care. Impacts due to the pandemic and lockdown can be reduced substantially if planning and policy are in place before any emergency happened in the future.

Title A name given to the resource Children with disabilities in the United States and the COVID-19 pandemic Subject The topic of the resource Children with disabilities in the United States and the COVID-19 pandemic Description An account of the resource This Position Paper’s authors work in Universities, Disability Resource Centres and clinical settings across the USA. It notes the disproportionate impact on children with a disability and other factors (“The phrase, “we are all in this together,” should be modified to: “We are all weathering the storm together, but we are not all in the same boat.””). It discusses impacts of the pandemic on children with disabilities and their families, “the ethical concerns and implications of triage protocols for scarce resources that consider disability in their scoring systems, and optimizing medical care and educational needs in the time of COVID”. Case studies highlight 3 families’ experiences. After exploring health implications, a section on ‘Educational Equity’ underlines the legal rights through the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA). This position paper includes an extensive bibliography. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Houtrow, A., Harris, D., Molinero, A., Levin-Decanini, T., Robichaud, C.

Title A name given to the resource Effect of the COVID-19 Pandemic on College Students With Disabilities Subject The topic of the resource Effect of the COVID-19 Pandemic on College Students With Disabilities Description An account of the resource In this American Journal of Public Health Editorial, the authors build on a previous article to explore the impact of COVID on students with a disability in the context of Higher Education. They reference a survey conducted as part of a report released by the Association on Higher Education and Disability, noting that whilst toolkits for the creation of accessible resources are available (and the authors link to one such toolkit), the need of students with a disability was often left behind in the rush to remote. The authors reference Department of Education guidelines and how they failed to provide concrete guidance (which is needed given a “lack of consensus on how to adhere to public health recommendations and nondiscrimination laws”). After outlining impact on access to health, the authors call for more explicit guidelines to be produced. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Chugani, C.D., Houtrow, A.
