Coronavirus (COVID-19): How to Protect Yourself and Others
Advocates in Action collaborated with our friends at the RI DD Council to create a single-page flyer about how to stay safe during the pandemic. This user-friendly resource is based on the most recent guidance from the Center for Disease Control.
Everyone is welcome to download, share, and re-post the flyer on your own website or social media. Keep safe and help others do the same!
We've included resources from our friends at Green Mountain Self-Advocates (GMSAVT) in Vermont, and others. We decided to add their original files to our site so you can use BrowseAloud to hear and translate the materials that they've created. If you have any questions or comments about these resources, please follow the link to the author's website so you can contact them directly.
