  • Center for Inclusive Design and Innovation (CIDI) - COVID 19 Accessible Materials for People with Disabilities
    CIDI, along with the CDC Foundation, has created accessible COVID-19 materials for individuals who are blind, deaf, have limited mobility or have limited literacy skills resulting from a variety of factors. Some consumers of information may have a combination of these disabilities and some of the message formats may be used by multiple audiences.  Family members, caregivers and various healthcare/service providers may also benefit from these enhanced modes of messaging.  The goal of this partnership is to increase access to information about COVID-19.
