Postsecondary Transition Programming: An Avenue for Physical Activity Promotion for Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
Heather Katz
Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, v95 n2 p3-4 2024
Adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) experience lower levels of physical activity in comparison to the general population. While many factors contribute to this disparity, expanding appropriate and accessible programming in settings frequented by adults with IDD deserves attention. One such setting is post-secondary transition programs (PSTPs), which aim to increase the independence and well-being of people with IDD after high school. Offering physical activity in PSTPs would not only serve the mission of these programs but would contribute to health promotion efforts to reach this marginalized group.
