I Can Do It, You Can Do It

Approximately 56 million children and adults living in the United States have some level of disability. Despite physical activity and good nutrition being the cornerstones of evidence-based health promotion interventions for reducing the risk of co morbidities (e.g., diabetes, heart disease, stroke), many people with a disability or caregivers who have a child with a disability experience substantial difficulty accessing these programs. Inaccessible facilities, lack of transportation to and from indoor and outdoor recreation venues, absence of knowledgeable staff who understand how to include people with a disability in their programs, and a general perception among providers that people with a disability need ‘specialized’ versus integrated services, feed into a culture of isolation and separation and exposes this population to disproportionately higher rates of health disparities.
