Children with disabilities may feel isolated due to their differences.

The pandemic has magnified

that isolation, causing many children to have to abandon comforting and structured schedules. Exercising
patience, compassion, and a willingness to think outside the box can help a child with disabilities feel less
alone during COVID-19. During this difficult period, children with disabilities have struggled even more
than the general public to receive necessary care. They have had to deal with the inability to obtain
necessary healthcare and therapy. They've also dealt with emotional and mental stress. Understanding the
impact of the pandemic lockdown on these children and their families is critical, as is seeking beneficial
solutions.
