This article discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on workers with disabilities. Given that most employment-related literature about COVID-19 does not include people with disabilities, an in-depth exploration of the impact of COVID-19 on this population is warranted. Additionally, this article discusses the unique issues this population is facing during the pandemic, including the intersectionality of disability, race, and economic disadvantage. Suggestions for supporting people with disabilities in counseling and career-related activities, both during the COVID-19 pandemic and postpandemic, are provided.
