PRACTICAL TOOLS for a disability inclusive COVID-19 response

Source: The Leprosy Mission

Note: Comprehensive guidelines, recommendations and overviews of resources on how to ensure that people with disabilities are included in COVID-19 responses can be found via WHO, IDA and IDDC / Core Group (see links page 3). In this document we aim to highlight the practical tools, such as videos, easy-read materials, accessible protection methods, etc.

This document will be continuously updated in the coming weeks and months (see also www.dcdd.nl/resources). DCDD gathers tools that have been developed by our network participants and other disability organisations. DCDD is not responsible for the content of these tools.
