Synopsis

The Get Fit Training Manual: Creating an Inclusive Culture of Health for People with Disabilities is the only curriculum-based training program developed for health and wellness management professionals who work with people with a wide variety of needs.

The Get Fit Training Manual not only promotes an inclusive culture of health and wellness for people with disabilities, it is suitable for graduate and undergraduate students in a variety of health-related studies to learn skills for working with people of all abilities to develop a healthier lifestyle.
