What an incredible three days in the Niagara region of Canada! Thanks @Nafapa2 @NorthAmericaAPA for putting on another great conference and allowing so many incredible researchers to highlight their work!

Presented at @Nafapa2 on #inclusive #dance videos for adults with #IDD. Participants reported they found the dances to be #fun and #safe to perform! They also reported that the videos have encouraged #PhysicalActivity engagement at an 8 week follow-up!! @HCARDD @yonalunsky

Laura presented her research on #physicalactivity, #sedentarybehaviour & #sleep in adults with #IDD, caregivers & service providers. Can you guess which group had the highest levels of #PA? Which group had the most sleep? @Nafapa2 @HCARDD

Have really enjoyed my time at @Nafapa2. Lots of great discussion with both researchers and practitioners. Shared some findings from our online mental skills program for para athletes ( https://t.co/JG4lbjS1cd). @KristaJChandler @ToddLoughead Dr. Jeffrey Martin @SPPARC_UWindsor
