No does and doesn't need it in the same things. For eg; careers that use to mostly face to face and now are mostly online, therefore not everyone has someone living with them so there is no face to face help. Just because they may able to use an IT device for example doesn't mean they can use everything on there even if they are on their everything but some things they probley can do alone.
In the terms of mental health, even though it is good to learn new ways of doing things some people take a lot longer than others to do these things independently or and not at all. In some things, it's even harder if the person is by themselves, and they no one there to teach and support them face to face. In some things, they may be able to learn off someone from teams, zoom, etc, maybe intersections from an email, etc but that may depend on what it is and how their disabilities, etc affect them, etc. In some things, the information in easy read, etc may be helpful. For me for example I struggle to creative accounts sign in etc. It's not all black and white as everyone has different weaknesses and strengths in different areas.
However' due to safety and this can vary on one most people disabilities etc are rather good with IT but then there are many who are either afraid to access IT due to getting involved with the wrong sort of people or they are overprotected from that by families, carers, etc, which is not the case in everyone but for the ones that don't use IT are likely to be more so isolated from careers, etc because in the lockdown there is very little face to face contact. I would think that those who don't or can't access IT, I feel more concerned about even though most may be protected due to safety online, etc, the concerned that their mental health could be at risk depending on how overprotected they are. This is not an easy one to explain as no one knows and no fault to those who are protecting them but all the same it doesn't change the fact that they may be lacking friendships etc.
