Nous sommes fiers d’annoncer le lancement de notre tout nouveau site internet dédié à l’information sur la COVID-19 à destination des personnes autistes et/ou v...ivant avec un handicap intellectuel et de leur famille. https://covid19.aidecanada.ca/fr/ La maladie à coronavirus 2019 est source d’inquiétude et d’incertitude pour tous. Les personnes autistes et/ou vivant avec un handicap intellectuel sont particulièrement sensibles au stress, à l’incertitude et aux perturbations. Les enfants et jeunes adultes autistes et/ou vivant avec un handicap intellectuel sont mises en difficulté face aux situations inconnues, aux fermetures d’écoles, aux changements soudains de routine, à la perte de connexion avec leurs proches et à la peur de contracter le virus. C’est pour cela que nous avons consacré une section spécifique à la COVID-19 au sein du site internet général AIDE Canada.

Not sure if these prices are reasonable or not but thought I would share
