Description

This issue is dedicated to direct support professionals and all they have endured since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. It includes stories from self-advocates, family members, health care professionals, and DSPs who saw COVID-19 infect their co-workers and the people they support. It includes helpful information on the importance of vaccines, methods to control the spread of COVID-19, and guidance for DSPs and the people they support in processing grief. Other articles include results from three waves of survey data collected from DSPs about their COVID-19 experiences, an in-depth interview with public health experts on responding to the pandemic, and stories by self-advocates on how vaccinations protect them and others.
