Considerations for Building Post-COVID Early Care and Education Systems That Serve Children with Disabilities
Warner-Richter, Mallory; Lloyd, Chrishana M.
Child Trends
Coping with the COVID-19 pandemic has been challenging for all families, especially those caring for young children with disabilities. Of the 24 million children under age 6 in the United States, about 5 percent (1.2 million) have a diagnosed disability, which qualifies them for early intervention or special education services through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This fact sheet examines the interrelationship between disability, race, and ethnicity, and how this plays out across the country. Next, it discusses specific impacts of the pandemic on families with young children with disabilities, and, finally, the resource offers considerations for states as early care and education (ECE) programs begin to reopen.
