Summary

This study is testing whether adding hands-on cooking classes to a standard weight management program helps young adults with intellectual disabilities lose more weight and maintain that loss over two years. Researchers will compare a group receiving the standard program with a group that also attends cooking classes, tracking weight, body fat, health markers, and cooking skills. The goal is to find better ways to support healthy, lasting lifestyle changes in this community.
