Hi Saeid

I'm doing my PhD on physical activity and social support for people with intellectual disability. Martin was kind enough to recommend my paper, thanks Martin! 

That paper was part of a larger project called 'Walk and Talk'. Walk and Talk was a program where a person with intellectual disability was paired with a volunteer from their local neighborhood. The pair walked around their neighborhood together and had a chat. We didn't publish any research on the outcomes of the program but from feedback we had participants liked the opportunity to walk and to walk with a new person. Often the pair became friends and continued the walks. The program is still going five years later - it is run by one of the largest disability organization in the state. 

This is another walking intervention, Walk Well. There are a few publications on this program, this is the latest:  https://www.researchgate.net/publication/304989870_Process_evaluation_of_the_Walk_Well_study_A_cluster-randomised_controlled_trial_of_a_community_based_walking_programme_for_adults_with_intellectual_disabilities 

Feel free to send me a message, happy to talk more

Best wishes

Hi Saeid,

I have just finished working on report rethinking public health interventions with disabled people.

The study aimed:  (1) To examine the literature on theories and models of disability; (2) to assess whether or not, and how, intervention studies of effectiveness could incorporate more inclusive approaches that are consistent with these theories and models; and (3) to use the findings to draw out implications for improving evaluative study designs and evidence-based practice.

You might find some of the research we have included  and findings helpful.
