To help consolidate information and resources regarding COVID-19, we have created a resource page on our website to help self-advocates, families, our chapters and others access the most recent, factual information.
 
www.arcind.org/covid-19-information-and-resources

 
Resources include:
 
·     COVID-19 Plain Language Booklet for People with I/DD

·     State and Federal COVID-19 Dedicated Websites

·     Quick links to CDC and CMS Guidance

·     Visitation Guidelines & Visitor Poster

·     Family and Social Services COVID-19 Guidance from FSSA Agencies

·     Governor Holcomb Executive Orders

 
And More! 
 
We are thankful to have wonderful stakeholders at the state and national level who are continually providing important information and updated resources. The resource page also includes links to virtual educational and fun activities for young and old to utilize while they are spending their days at home.
 
Please check the resource page often as we are committed to updating information and adding new content as soon as it becomes available.
 
We also encourage you to share the resource page link on your website and promote on your social media. Sally has sent this information to communications/development staff that we know of at local chapters. If you have a staff member that you would like to have added to that distribution list, please send their name, title and email to Sally at smorris@arcind.org. Please also send any suggested resources to add to our page.
 
Please know that The Arc of Indiana and The Arc Master Trust staff continues to work “business as usual” – responding to emails and phone calls, serving our trust beneficiaries, conducting meetings by phone, and working on ongoing projects.
 
Thank you for all that you do for your clients and families during this stressful time. Please do not hesitate to contact me, Andy or Melissa with any questions or concerns at kdodson@arcind.org, akirby@arcind.org, mjustice@arcind.org
