Furthering positive futures for children with intellectual disabilities

 Youth with intellectual disabilities form a high-risk population with increased vulnerability to difficulties with school adaptation and with participating in their community, as well as multiple psychosocial issues. This project will investigate the benefits of school life and physical activity for the well-being and positive development of students with mild and moderate intellectual disability.
