Coexisting with COVID

 

Survey: COVID Long-Haulers, Newly Disabled, and Long-Time Members of the Disability Community

Share your experience and questions: Deadline August 7, 2022

COVID-19 has resulted in millions of new people with disabilities, some due to lingering symptoms of COVID that persist weeks and months after initial infection, and others from permanent damage to the body wrought by the virus.

As part of a new effort, Access Living seeks feedback and questions from people who are newly disabled, including those who may only be temporarily disabled. What information and resources would be most helpful? What barriers have you faced? What do you wish someone would explain to you?

Similarly, we seek the input, advice, and ‘hacks’ of long-time members of the disability community: What advice do you have for people who are newly disabled? What tools have you found helpful?

Tell us below.

Deadline August 7, 2022
