People with intellectual and developmental disabilities are at a greater risk of contracting COVID-19, and to having poorer outcomes when they do. Consequently, many support services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities have transitioned from live to virtual service provision during the COVID-19 pandemic. Presenting research findings from multiple cases, this presentation aims to describe strategies for creating and fostering joy in individual, family and group sessions for young children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in a broad range of services (early intervention, consultation, and day and residential services) and environments (family homes, group homes, and community based settings) using virtual/remote supports. In addition, recommendations for the use of virtual/remote supports to expand diversity in service offerings and expand equity in service access during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond will be discussed.
