Abstract

ABSTRACT Background Adults with disabilities in low-income communities of colour are disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Method We interviewed 14 self-advocates with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to learn more about their experiences during the peak of infections, hospitalisations, and deaths in Los Angeles, between December 2020 and March 2021. Results A modified grounded theory analysis revealed major themes of family, making choices & going places, formal services, and employment, which are discussed in relation to the participants' sense of autonomy and access to goods and services. Conclusions Implications for practice include increased access and training for adults with IDD in computer skills to maintain social engagement with video conferencing, and to utilise grocery delivery services.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
