Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the global community
must ensure that persons with disabilities are included.
This will require disability inclusion to be considered in

way through to delivery and recovery efforts that are

the specific needs of children with disabilities. The issues
paper focuses on the following objectives: (1) addressing
education, social needs, barriers, and issues for learners
with disabilities at a global, regional, and country-level
during the COVID-19 crisis; and (2) recommending practices
for education and social inclusion, and reasonable
accommodations utilizing the twin track approach and
principles of universal design for learning. |
