The impediments of intellectual and developmental disabilities not only stigmatize and isolate affected individuals, but also contribute to a sedentary lifestyle and comfort eating. These limitations fall to the wayside at the Tuesday night \u201cDance Fit\u201d class the nurses teach. Between the twists, turns, and claps that get their endorphins pumping, participants are also making new friends. According to studies, obesity is 2-3 times greater among people with IDD. We\u2019re going to talk with Denise &amp;amp; Hope about the step-by- step approach they use to get this too often overlooked&amp;nbsp;and isolated population moving and socializing.
