Unfair and Unequal: Covid-19 and People with Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities

Join the Lurie Institute and the Community Living Policy Center for a webinar discussion between disability community members, self-advocates, and policy researchers. This conversation will elevate the policy and lived experience impacts of COVID-19 among people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Leaders and experts from the disability community will consider lessons learned, future federal policies, and ways that policies that promote Home and Community-based Services can provide more equitable social justice during this pandemic.

This discussion will include:
Moderator: Joe Caldwell, Director of the Community Living Policy Center
Angel Miles, Healthcare/home and Community Based Services Policy Analysis at Access Living
Julia Bascom, Executive Director at Autistic Self Advocacy Network
Nicole LeBlanc, National Center on Advancing Person-Centered Practices and Systems Group Coordinator, Disability Policy expert.
