This week, Pennsylvania released a Self-Advocate Transition Guide to assist people with disabilities and their families during readjustment to the COVID-19 pandemic.  The guide can support individual decision-making around how to safely return to activities in the community while prioritizing physical and mental health and social distancing practices. It also offers guidance on changes to routine and provides helpful links and resources. The guide, designed in collaboration between ASERT (Autism Services, Education Resources and Training) and SAU1(Self-Advocates United as 1), can assist individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities and/or autism in developing their own self-directed path back into the community.
