Description

People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) are more prone to higher rates of chronic illness compared to individuals without a disability. People with I/DD want to participate in health promotion activities but are challenged by accessibility to these programs.. This poster will provide evidence based tools to increase the accessibility of health promotion programs for people with disabilities.
