Whether you’re job hunting or heading back into your workplace on a full or part time basis, we want to help you protect yourself and your children.
On the following pages, you’ll find a unique collection of first-person stories, expert advice, helpful tips and curated information designed to assist in preventing the transmission of COVID-19 for parents of young children with disabilities and ongoing medical conditions.
In this special issue of Abilities magazine, we recognize and address the additional risk for infection that kids with disabilities and their families have and the precautions they must now take to stay safe as they go about their daily activities.
With support from the Federal Government’s Emergency Community Support Fund, the editors and contributors from Today’s Kids and Abilities Magazine have thoughtfully prepared and curated this unique publication. We have included information from leading Canadian government experts and global authorities, as well as contributions from local experts and families to help you through the coming months safely and securely.
We look forward to updating you on our blog with new information as you listen, learn and adapt your lives in these challenging times. Stay safe.
