How Coronavirus Concerns Can Impact Those with Mental Disabilities

Bay News 9 requested HRS Inc President, Dr. Craig Escude, to weigh in on the subject of COVID-19 and people with IDD.

“ Sometimes people with disabilities are more sensitive to changing of routines or environments or their support staff, and again that presents additional challenges,” said Dr. Craig Escudé, President of Health Risk Screening, Inc. “And sometimes that comes out as an adverse behavior simply because the person is trying to communicate what they’re feeling.”
