Abstract
Investigative teams from the fields of behavior analysis and physical activity/nutrition collaborated on a 10-year program of discovery and research to identify effective approaches to weight loss and maintenance by individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Three phases are reported: (a) initial observations of dietary intake in a small sample of group-home residents, (b) a single-arm evaluation of a packaged-meal diet, and (c) a controlled clinical trial comparing the packaged meals with a conventional reduced-energy diet with an extended weight-maintenance phase. Conclusions regarding practical applications and recommendations for future research are provided.
