“…Elements of the training's approach, that is, tailoring to the individual, involving the support network and assisting the transfer of learnt skills to daily life, seem to benefit people with intellectual disabilities. This has already been suggested in previous research (Cavkaytar et al., ; Douglas et al., ; Gilson et al., ; Goldschmidt & Song, ; Hale et al., ; Kuijken et al., ; Young et al., ); however, our study for the first time evaluated a self‐management training in which all these elements were combined and which showed that this is a promising approach.…”

“…Most studies presented promising results, but drawing firm conclusions about the effects of self‐management interventions is difficult due to studies’ narrow focus and methodological limitations. However, previous studies emphasized that overall, it is important that interventions are (a) tailored to the needs and personal situations of people with intellectual disabilities (Douglas et al., ; Goldschmidt & Song, ; Hale, Trip, Whitehead, & Conder, ; Kuijken et al., ; Young, Naji, & Kroll, ), (b) that their support network is involved (Hale et al., ; Young et al., ) and (c) that attention is paid to the transfer of learnt skills to daily life (Gilson et al., ; Goldschmidt & Song, ).…”

Background To help people with intellectual disabilities lead a more independent life, it is important to promote their self‐management. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a self‐management training for people with intellectual disabilities directed at independent functioning in daily life. Method In the training, 17 people with intellectual disabilities worked on personal self‐management goals covering a wide range of everyday affairs. Primary outcome measures focused on goal attainment, independence and support needs. Moreover, outcomes regarding psychopathological behaviour and quality of life were explored. Data were collected before and at the start of the training, and 3, 6, 9 and 12 months later. Results The training contributed to the attainment of self‐management goals and to the reduction in support needs (p < 0.01). There were no changes in independence, psychopathological behaviour and quality of life. Conclusions Results indicate that the training supports people with intellectual disabilities to self‐manage their daily affairs.

“…While several studies have tested nutrition interventions in young children and adults with ASD, the literature on nutrition education interventions in older adolescents is scarce (Garcia et al, 2020 ; Goldschmidt & Song, 2016 ; Hubbard et al, 2014 ; Kim & Kang, 2020 ). As older adolescents with ASD begin to transition into adulthood, a nutrition education program which assists adolescents in making healthy food choices has potential to improve dietary patterns, as well as foster autonomy and independence in this population.…”

To examine the feasibility and acceptability of a remote-based nutrition education program during COVID-19 for adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Ten adolescents with ASD participated in a 4-week nutrition education program utilizing Zoom software during COVID-19. Topics included shopping for healthy food, and food preparation safety measures. Attendance was collected for each session. Participants, parents, and the classroom teacher completed post-program surveys and interviews. The course attendance rate was 97%. Every adolescent reported they would participate in similar future programs, and the teacher/parents felt the program was a positive experience for the participants. The remote-based nutrition education program appeared to be feasible and acceptable to participants. Future research should focus on program efficacy.

“…In the UK, the reading therapy has been recommended for treatment of mental disorder, from the early 1980s (Forrest 1998). Some researchers suggested that knitting in a group can promote relaxation, stress relief and creativity (Riley et al 2013), while cooking activities have similar effects with additional benefits of enhancing one's nutritional status, dietary variety, socialization and overall health (Goldschmidt and Song 2017).…”

Smarter cures to combat COVID-19 and future pathogens: a review

Prevention is better than cure. A milestone of the anthropocene is the emergence of a series of epidemics and pandemics often characterized by the transmission of a pathogen from animals to human in the past two decades. In particular, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has made a profound impact on emergency responding and policy-making in a public health crisis. Classical solutions for controlling the virus, such as travel restrictions, lockdowns, repurposed drugs and vaccines, are socially unpopular and medically limited by the fast mutation and adaptation of the virus. This is exacerbated by microbial resistance to therapeutic drugs and the slowness of vaccine development. In other words, microbial pathogens are somehow 'smarter' and faster than us, thus calling for more intelligent cures to combat future pandemics. Here, we compare therapeutics for COVID-19 such as synthetic drugs, vaccines, antibodies and phages. We present the strength and limitations of antibiotic and antiviral drugs, vaccines, and antibody-based therapeutics. We describe smarter, cheaper and preventive cures such as bacteriophages, food medicine using probiotics and prebiotics, sports, healthy diet, music, yoga, Tai Chi, dance, reading, knitting, cooking and outdoor activities. Some of these preventive cures have been intuitively developed since thousands of years ago, as illustrated by the fascinating similarity of the Chinese characters for 'music' and 'herbal medicine.'
