Households of young children with disabilities are not getting the support they need during the COVID-19 pandemic. When we launched the RAPID-EC weekly nationally representative survey on April 6, we were sure that we would find that households with children age five and under would need additional support during the COVID-19 pandemic.

We were less prepared to see dramatic results for households in which there is a young child with a disability.Our data suggest that these households are facing particularly difficult circumstances and require additional resources and supports.
