Abstract


At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Lakeshore Foundation and the National Center on Health, Physical Activity and Disability (NCHPAD) initiated a survey to gain a better understanding of needs of the disability community during this time. Findings from the national online, COVID-19 survey data identify critical, unmet needs of the disability community from the viewpoint of both people with disabilities and/or chronic health conditions and those who are family members or caregivers of someone with a disability and/or chronic health condition. Over a two-week period, 1409 people who identified as members of the disability community responded to the survey.
