Webinar: ADA Impact on Individuals and the COVID-19 Long Haul

Date: June 9, 2021

Description

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed our world and caused many of us to reassess the way we operate and interact with one another daily, including our daily activities, whether personal or professional, especially for individuals living in the disability community.

Individuals with disabilities have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19 over the past year and a half. Whether it be through lack of access to important health resources, obstacles to get COVID-19 testing and now the vaccine, as well as some of the long-term effects it can have on individuals with existing medical conditions.

This session will share more information on the ADA and how it can help those with disabilities as they are still navigating COVID-19. A vast array of information related to the disability community that includes highlights and obstacles to virtual living, COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and information, and accommodations and assistive technology that can help with carrying out the COVID-19 long haul will be shared.

Join us for an important session that will share information on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and how it can help those with disabilities as they are still navigating COVID-19.
