Individuals with disabilities are living longer than ever before but they still lag significantly in overall health and access to programs as compared with their nondisabled peers. There are many contributing factors to poor health including lack of knowledge, a more sedentary lifestyle, and inability to drive. We know that exercise plays an important role in mental health and can help reverse negative outcomes by reducing anxiety and depression. Some of the positive benefits of being active include raised self-esteem as well as improved cognitive function. Healthy bodies and minds are also a critical component of successful employment.
