Abstract:

The objective was to describe strategies and policies for the care of people with disabilities in periods of public health emergencies, especially COVID-19. Twenty nine studies and 49 strategies were included, grouped into eight categories: 1-Housing, mobility and infrastructure; 2-Work, Occupation and Income; 3-Social Assistance; 4-Telehealth; 5-Comprehensive Health Care; 6-Planning and Management, 7- Communication and 8-Education. The overview of the strategies can guide public policies, with feasible actions that promote more significant equity for disabled persons.
