Long-COVID has become a prevalent issue globally, across both demographics and cultures. Rehabilitation professionals have the opportunity to provide education on self-advocacy and health management relative to this complex condition. This symposium was ideated to 1) disseminate the progress on two Long-COVID centered information education pages, and 2) to generate discussion on future aims of the rehabilitation community specific to serving the Long-COVID population. We will include the voices of people living with Long-COVID in the form of quotes from interviews conducted in four recent qualitative studies.

Learning Objectives:

define and describe Post Acute Sequelae of Sars-CoV-2 (PASC).
describe PASC management strategies.
list and describe PASC-related self-advocacy strategies.
