Description
People with developmental disabilities experience significant barriers when attempting to access health and wellness activities. Many times, information and services that promote health and wellness are not designed to consider their preferences, needs and disabilities. To support efforts to increase physical activity and improve the health of people with developmental disabilities, the ODDC will support a project that will provide information and best practice protocols to increase the quality of and access to recreation services for people with developmental disabilities and their families. The project should expand upon existing initiatives such as Creating Healthy Communities, an initiative through the Ohio Department of Health, to increase opportunities for inclusive physical activity and recreation for people with developmental disabilities within their communities.
KEY ACTIVITIES:
-Promote and sustain participation of people with developmental disabilities in inclusive physical activity and recreation.
-Provide information and training to recreation facilities and professionals to increase opportunities for inclusive physical activity and recreation for people with developmental disabilities within their community.
