CDC Posts Accessible COVID-19 Resources

We wanted to let you know that easy to read COVID-19 Safety resources are now available on the CDC website.  

These resources are available thanks to the COVID-19 Accessible Materials and Culturally Relevant Messages for Individuals with Disabilities Project, led by Georgia Tech’s Center for Inclusive Design and Innovation (CIDI).

This is a CDC Foundation-funded communications initiative to which CDC is an advisor. The project aims to deliver essential COVID-19 information in Braille, American Sign Language (ASL), simplified text, and other alternative formats to people with disabilities, their families, and caregivers. 

ASL (American Sign Language) videos continue to be available on the CDC YouTube channel and more are being produced in the coming weeks, so check back periodically.

Below are the direct links for each resource:
