We thank Drs. Trabacca and Russo for their reflection and comments about childhood disability and the ethics of care during the exceptional circumstances of a viral pandemic.(1) We recognize the many social, educational, environmental, and health care disruptions that COVID-19 has imposed on the routines of all children. Such disruptions are often disproportionately stressful to the families of children with neurodevelopmental and neuromuscular disabilities, whose “non-essential” community-based support services are restricted because of the imperatives of physical distancing.
