title: Nutrition intervention in developmental disabilities: an interdisciplinary approach.
abstract: The nutritional status of developmentally disabled persons is influenced by variables infrequently encountered in normal nutrition. The multitude of factors requires an approach to care that must incorporate information and assistance from a variety of disciplines. A model for viewing the network of variables is proposed as a tool for identifying voids in nutrition care and for developing appropriate plans that include interdisciplinary interactions for those persons with special needs.
