Feasibility of Implementing Disability Inclusive Evidence-Based Health Promotion.

People with disabilities face a number of barriers to accessing and participating in evidence-based health promotion programs offered within the community. To address these barriers, the program implementation process needs to integrate disability inclusion throughout planning and implementation. The National Center on Health, Physical Activity and Disability's inclusive Community Implementation Process (NiCIP) provides a framework for implementers to systematically integrate strategies into their health promotion programs that increase inclusion while maintaining the fidelity the program. The NiCIP is a community-engaged process that brings key stakeholders together to guide the selection and implementation of data-driven solutions that promote inclusion in, and access to, health promotion programs. In this article, we first provide an overview of the NiCIP. Then, we present a case study exploring one community's experience using the NiCIP to implement a disability inclusive nutrition program within their community.

Disaster response for people with disability.

Emergency Preparedness for people with a disability has been a steadfast activity in the state of South Carolina. In October 2015, the state experienced a natural disaster termed "The 1000 Year Flood". The disability response to the disaster was swift due to the strong collaborative network. However, the disaster did present challenges that need to be further addressed. The retelling of South Carolina's response should be informative to other state programs that provide advocacy for people with disability. Agencies and organizations that respond to disasters can learn from South Carolina's experience to ensure that the needs of people with disabilities are addressed rapidly and efficiently.
