Description
Over recent years, mindful eating has been incorporated into nutrition practices worldwide. With the increase in body positive and inclusive practices, there are still widespread issues with access and acceptance for individuals with disabilities. Mindful Eating: Mindful Interventions for Adolescents works to combat this exclusion of individuals with disabilities. Presenters will share program details and results from a 4-week mindful eating based curriculum developed for adolescents with Down Syndrome.Back to Session: Poster Symposium 2A - Health, Wellness, Recreation, and Related Issues
