The Family Resource Center Network of CA (FRCNCA) has heard repeatedly from our member agencies that parents of young children and individuals with developmental disabilities need guidance and logistical support on the use of PPE/face coverings when accessing in the community. As parents, we recognize the need for face coverings, especially in high risk situations, however, we are aware that wearing a face covering may not be possible and can even be dangerous for some indivi...duals with disabilities. In support of the families we serve, we reached out to the Department of Developmental Services and Disability Rights California to identify current practice and solutions. First, all recommendations suggest the importance of seeking advice from a medical personnel who knows the child or adult best for guidance. However, there has been some confusion regarding whether children and adults with intellectual disabilities or developmental disabilities are required to wear a mask. The Guidance for the Use of Face Coverings released by the California Department of Public Health provides clarity on this issue, while not a blanket exemption, the guidance does state that "persons with a medical condition, mental health condition, or disability that prevents wearing a face covering" are exempt from doing so. As some public places are now required to enforce mask wearing, It was suggested by Disability Rights California that families print out this state bulletin information and carry it with them should they have issues in the community. In addition, if caregivers and others are comfortable, stores or venues can be provided a letter from a physician, this may also help with the accommodation. Following is the link to the PDF of the California Department of Public Health's Guidance: https://www.cdph.ca.gov//Guidance-for-Face-Coverings_06-18.
