Method: New action tools were developed through three steps. First, we reviewed relevant references and collected existing action tools related to COVID-19 respond. Then we visited the facilities and collected good practices for preventing COVID-19. Finally, we discussed the practical ways and requirements for action tools effective in the facilities with disabilities. We conducted a two-hour program for 4 times at the facilities. The program was consisted of short lecture about COVID-19 and group discussions based on action checklist exercise.Results: The staff members reviewed existing measures at the facilities and discussed point to be improved about COVID-19 preventing. In addition, they shared their concerns and doubts about COVID-19 measures that they felt in their daily tasks during group discussions. They felt difficulty, because of the children with disability sometimes were not able to use face masks, wash your hands and gargle regularly to prevent infection. However, many good practices for standard precaution adapted for disabled children were shared through the group discussions.Discussion: By using a participatory approach that emphasizes social dialogue and action-oriented rather than one-way lecture-type training, staff members empower multifaceted actions for prevention COVID-19 with their own initiatives.
