Changes to Services due to COVID-19 on Children and Adults with Disabilities

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to significant changes to almost all aspects of life, including the delivery of services to children and adults living with a disability. Examples such as the reduction of respite services, limiting day services to those in critical need, visitation restrictions for loved ones and use of personal protective equipment have presented challenges for all of us.

The Department of Families and the Family Advocacy Network of Manitoba (FAN) want to better understand the impact of these changes on children and adults with disabilities and their families, involved with the Children’s disABILITY Services (CDS) and Community Living disABILITY Services (CLDS) programs. Feedback from the survey will be used to improve service delivery, both during and after the pandemic.

• Families whose children receive services from Children’s disABILITY Services are invited to take the CDS COVID-19 survey.
• Families whose adult loved ones receive services from Community Living disABILITY Services are invited to take the CLDS COVID-19 survey.
