School has started, and fall is in the air. This month, NCHPAD provides resources for children and their back-to-school needs, including a monograph on parental roles in facilitating a child with a disability's active lifestyle, information for the upcoming Walk to School Day and National Recess Week, as well as highlights of new resources, such as the "Where Do Children Play?" website. Our nutrition spotlight also features ideas for healthy breakfasts.
Additionally, our FITT column provides information on using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) in developing individualized exercise prescriptions for people with disabilities, and our Emerging Evidence in Health and Disability column highlights a wheelchair skills training program for manual wheelchair users.
