Additional Resources
The Nutrition and Exercise for People with Physical Disabilities course was very good. It prompted us to think outside of our comfort zone when it comes to nutrition and yet feel comfortable speaking about it. I also enjoyed the break out sessions. Those gave us an opportunity to learn food habits based on culture.
