Abstract
⺠The first study to implement a PA and nutrition program in overweight youth with ID or autism. ⺠There was a substantial reduction in the consumption of confectionery and chocolate. ⺠There was a trend toward improvement in fitness. ⺠Children and youth improved physical health supported by a reduction in hospitalizations. ⺠The program encouraged the development of a community network. ⺠The specific needs of youth with ID must be considered when developing an intervention.
