Tailored nutrition management for physically active adults with disabilities can optimize their health and performance; however, clinical trials and nutrition guidelines are often not accessible and inclusive for this population.
This session highlights evidence-based steps to adapting nutrition assessments and interventions in research and practice settings across the spectrum of adults with disabilities who range in physical activity levels from lightly active to para-sport athletes.
Attendees will learn how a diabetes prevention clinical trial was adapted for individuals with disabilities and explore performance nutrition principles for para-sport athletes. Practical tools and case examples will inform nutrition and dietetic professionals to deliver accessible and effective care across for patients and clients with disabilities.
