This webinar will present the findings from a recent study on the initial
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on adults with physical disabilities from
marginalized communities in Southeast Michigan, one of the early pandemic
epicenters in the United States. Interviews with 16 adults revealed how
participants either had to engage in risky behavior to have their needs met
or avoid risk and not have those needs met. They contribute to
understandings of risk, its impact on physical and psychological health,
and the importance of accommodations. The study expands insight into early
responses to the pandemic among individuals with long-term physical
disabilities from marginalized communities. It helps elucidate how
socioeconomic status and race/ethnicity can differentially impact the lives
of adults with physical disabilities and further marginalize a population
that is “always already” vulnerable. This knowledge can expand awareness
and appreciation of how social, economic, and political systems are
structured and integrated into future clinical guidelines and emergency
response policies and more adequately addressed.
