REGISTRATION EXTENDED TO MAY 19...
The Human Rights of Children with Disabilities and Impact on Neurodevelopment During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Presenter: Verónica Schiariti, MD, MHSc, PhD
Course Summary:
While COVID-19 continues to spread across the globe, public health strategies—including social distancing measures that many countries have implemented— have caused disruptions to daily routines. For children with disabilities and their families, such measures mean a lack of access to the resources they usually have through schools and habilitation or rehabilitation services. In context of the COVID-19 pandemic, in this eCourse, Dr Schiariti highlights the importance of reviewing the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the UN Convention on persons with disabilities, as well as additional disability considerations for children and their families during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Registration Opens: May 4
Course Begins: May 15 (self-paced)

Course Cost: $25 AACPDM Members / $35 Non-Members
