Inclusion Ireland, the National Association for People with an Intellectual Disability has launched a Covid-19 disability helpline.
Launching the service, Disability Ireland said that the past number of weeks have been worrying ones for people with intellectual disabilities and their families.
The organisation therefore wants to provide people with good, accurate information on Covid-19, testing, the community supports that are available, staying in contact, and the financial supports that are available.
Those with concerns are being asked to contact Disability Ireland in the following ways:
Telephone: 0818 559 891 (10 am – 3 pm Monday to Friday)
Email: [email protected]
Facebook: message the page
The organisation also publishes a weekly e-newsletter throughout the course of the pandemic to keep people informed of news, educational resources, therapy resources, activities and much more.
Anyone interested can sign up to the newsletter for free by emailing [email protected]
