Physical Activity for People With IDD

This cluster shows that kids and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities move their bodies a lot less than other people. When they do exercise, they feel happier, go out in the community more, and say they are healthier. The papers tell BCBAs to check for things like trouble walking or not having a ride, and to teach skills so the person can pick an activity and do it on their own. If we build fun movement into daily plans, we can cut obesity and make life better without needing any medicine.
