Each year, the TASH Conference brings together a diverse community of stakeholders who gain information, learn about resources, and connect with others across the country to strengthen the disability field. This year’s conference theme, “Be Creative - Innovative Solutions for an Inclusive Life,” reminds us to think outside the box during times of uncertainty. Creativity, innovation, and determination can pave the way for meaningful and inclusive lives for people with disabilities.
This systematic review sought to identify all nutrition, eating behavior, and food preparation educational interventions within school settings for students with significant disabilities (intellectual, intellectual/developmental, and multiple). Furthermore, eligible studies were evaluated as to whether they met the standards for What Works Clearinghouse quality of research design and implementation. This study answers several questions about health education for children with disabilities. Are they being taught this information? How are they included in health education? How is curriculum delivered so as to be accessible? And is the quality of research informing best practices of high quality?
