There are no dietary guidelines tailored to the needs of individuals with disabilities, including those affected by traumatic brain injury. Understanding what people eat and the choices and actions made prior to intake are important for developing meaningful and effective strategies for clients.

This session presents findings from two nutrition research studies conducted with individuals with traumatic brain injury. Socioecological influences on food choice, barriers to food acquisition and preparation, and dietary assessment and counseling strategies for RDNs working with people with disabilities will be discussed.
