Zakus, Gloria; And Others
Journal of School Health, v51 n10 p663-666 Dec 1981
A weight control program for a group of eighth-grade girls, which included learning disabled students, was developed to change eating, exercise, and behavior patterns. The course included dietary management, physical activity, and behavior modification techniques. Results show that the students participating in the program decreased their weight while those in the control group did not. (Authors/JN)
