Abstract
People with learning disabilities are more likely to have poor dietary habits
and associated health conditions than the general population. Interventions to
improve dietary choices need to consider reasonable adjustments that ensure
resources are accessible to people in this group. This article discusses a research
project to develop two resources: one is an online recipe resource for people with
learning disabilities, which includes videos showing each stage of the cooking process
in real time; the other is a training programme that was copresented by service users
and delivered to staff. The article explores this multilevel approach to shared learning
experiences and offers recommendations for professionals working in this area to
advance evidence-based changes to practice.
