While everyone in our community has been impacted by the COVID-19 crisis, the situation has been especially hard for parents of children with disabilities. Some of the common concerns we have heard from parents include:
- My child is missing the structure of school and their normal routines.
- Virtual learning has been difficult for my child, and I’m not sure how to talk to the school about accommodating my child’s needs.
- My adult child usually goes to work or attends a day program, and now they are feeling bored and isolated.
- My child is acting out, and I’m having a hard time managing these behaviors.
