It is clear that there are many areas of nutrition and health education that can be enriched for children and adults with Down syndrome. To do this, a prescriptive model is not appropriate. Instead it is important to offer a method for persons with Down syndrome to learn how to make choices that fit their lifestyle, priorities and promote health. This means fostering and encouraging awareness, participation and meaningful choice making with appropriate support.
