Abstract:

Due to the rapid changing conditions of the new virus COVID-19, it posed a lot of uncertainties and risks to the health of the public at large. In this regards, this group of parents and their children with ID are vulnerable to even greater risks and challenges in combating against the new virus. This paper has looked into the difficulties these parents and their children with ID have experienced and how they adjusted to carrying on with their living.
