The sustainability of service provision continues to be a challenge in the field of intellectual disability due to changes in delivery as part of intermittent or ongoing lockdown requirements during the COVID-19 global pandemic. There are many facets to this that may have temporary or permanent impacts not only on the sector, but ultimately for service access and outcomes for people with intellectual disability themselves. This narrative literature review identifies both opportunities for, and impacts on, service providers across jurisdictions. These are explored in terms of the effects that suspension, adaptation, continuity or the cessation of service delivery have had, and those that are projected. Such impacts include, but are not limited to, changes in service access and delivery, employment roles and responsibilities, financial sustainability and the need to diversify the services and supports provided and how they are delivered. The relevance of these impacts for family carers and people with intellectual disability is also discussed. Nonetheless, there have also been opportunities which inform the shape of service delivery and pandemic planning into the future.
由于在新冠疫情全球大流行期间，作为间歇性或持续性封锁要求的一部分，服务提供方式发生了变化，智力残疾领域的服务可持续性仍然是一项挑战。这有许多方面，可能不仅对该部门产生暂时或永久的影响，最终还会影响智力残疾者自身获得服务的机会和服务成果。这篇叙述性文献综述确定了不同司法管辖区服务提供者面临的机遇和受到的影响。这些机遇和影响从服务提供的暂停、调整、持续或停止所产生的以及预计会产生的效果方面进行探讨。此类影响包括但不限于服务获取和提供方式的变化、就业角色和职责、财务可持续性以及使所提供的服务和支持多样化及其提供方式的必要性。还讨论了这些影响对家庭照顾者和智力残疾者的相关性。尽管如此，也存在一些机遇，可为未来的服务提供形式和疫情应对规划提供参考。
