COVID-19

When AID in PA was first created, the goal was to combine the experience and expertise of  the Health Care Quality Units (HCQUs) and ASERT (Autism Services, Education, Resources, and Training) to provide timely and useful information about COVID-19 to individuals with autism and intellectual disabilities, their families, caregivers, support staff and the general community.

This page highlights the resources developed as part of that initial collaboration, focusing on content specific to COVID-19 and the ongoing changes it’s brought to the world.

For each group, content is broken down into 3 categories: Quick Bites, Next Steps and Deeper Dive.

Quick Bites: These resources provide a general overview of the topic. If you only have a few minutes to look at information, start with the “quick bites”. This is where you’ll find the most important resources.

Next Steps: If you have more time to spend take the “next step” into these resources where you can find more detailed content on the topic.

Deeper Dive: These resources provide an in-depth look at the topic, rounding out earlier resources and exploring the topic in more detail.

Vaccine Information

These resources are designed to help answer questions about the COVID-19 vaccine. There is information on Emergency Use Authorization and social stories on getting the vaccine and what to expect after you receive a vaccine. These resources were developed in collaboration with the PA Department of Health.

Resources are available in both English and Spanish.
