New! Exercise and nutrition health education curriculum for
adults with developmental disabilities, (2001). Heller, T., Marks, B.A., &
Ailey, S.H.
This innovative curriculum is a
12-week interactive program specifically designed for individuals with
developmental disabilities (DD). Each week, participants enjoy three 1-hour
sessions, where they are encouraged to understand their attitudes toward
health, food and exercise; to gain skills and knowledge about healthy eating
and exercising; to identify food and exercise preferences; to participate in
food preparation and exercise activities; and, to locate places in their
community where they can exercise regularly. Strategies that are woven
throughout this curriculum include making choices, self-determination,
self-efficacy, self-advocacy, and rights and responsibility, along with
problem-solving techniques and conflict resolution. Direct staff or health
professionals can easily adapt the curriculum to meet the unique needs and
capacities of individuals with DD and their agencies. The RRTC-ADD can provide
regional train-the-trainer sessions for agencies or groups to familiarize
facilitators with the curriculum philosophy, goals and training materials.
Training session(s) simulate experiences similar to the actual health education
program. Trainers-in-training are encouraged to complete exercises that they
will ask future participants to do.
