The University of Hawai‘i Center on Disability Studies (CDS) is an organized research unit within the College of Education. They are committed to supporting people with disabilities and their families through various ways such as technical assistance, training programs, demonstrations, and other services. During the COVID-19 pandemic, individuals with disabilities were disproportionately affected. Not only were they at high-risk for COVID-19’s more serious complications, they also experienced many disruptions in their day to day life. During this time, UH CDS developed new partnerships and strategies to effectively reach their target community and address new needs brought on by the pandemic.
