Disability Welfare Policy in Europe: Cognitive Disability and the Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic delves into the profound impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on individuals with cognitive disabilities and their families. Drawing from a Disability Studies lens, this edited collection explores education, employment, social and health care services in European case studies, highlighting the unique challenges faced by this population. Recognizing the limitations imposed by Covid-19 health surveillance on the rights of all individuals, the chapters illustrate how the pandemic has exacerbated the disparities experienced by persons with cognitive disabilities and their families. The collection documents the changes in welfare services during the pandemic, which have resulted in new forms of segregation and hindered the full participation of persons with disabilities in society on an equal basis with others. It serves as a stark reminder of the setback in implementing the United Nations Convention for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD). Within the framework of public sociology, Disability Welfare Policy in Europe: Cognitive Disability and the Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic sheds light on the failure of efforts to mainstream disability policy. The authors emphasize the resilience and advocacy of persons with disabilities, their families, and personnel working in disability welfare policy as they strive to maintain the perspectives and rights of individuals with disabilities on the policy agenda. In the face of the invisibility imposed by Covid-19 health surveillance, how can we work towards re-establishing the visibility of persons with disabilities?
