Background

More than half of adults with developmental
disabilities live with their families
o Especially true among Latino families

children with IDD compared to Latina moms
of TD children are
o More likely to have higher rates of depression
o More likely to have chronic health conditions such
as arthritis and heart problems
o Less likely to see a doctor for themselves
Supportive services for Latina
mothers of children with IDD

Supportive services are primarily aimed at
the child with IDD

Latina mothers often identify their care
giving role as their primarily responsibility

Need for cultural interventions that help
Latina mother to focus on their own health
care needs

behavioral change leading to changes in
health behaviors (Bandura)

Example, how can we make our traditional recipes
healthier
De acuerdo a MiPlato, aproximadamente la mitad de lo que usted come en un día deben ser
frutas y verduras. A lo mejor esto le suena un poco extraño porque normalmente no
comemos los alimentos de forma separada. A lo mejor de la manera que usted come se
asemeja más a estos dibujos que contienen un poco de todo. Los 5 grupos que sugiere
MiPlato nos ayudará a entender mejor la forma en que nos alimentamos.
