Rose Gets in Shape

Roger Banks

Description

Rose lives on her own and she has picked up some bad habits about eating and taking exercise. Her energy is low and she gets tired easily. When her doctor tells her that her weight is causing health problems, she decides to get in shape. We follow Rose through the struggles and triumphs of her weight loss journey, the new activities she takes up, and the good friends and support she finds along the way. Losing weight is hard for everyone. Obesity is common, and people with learning disabilities are more likely than other people to become obese, and at a younger age. Rose Gets in Shape can help people to talk about their own experiences, cope with setbacks, and plan how to make lasting positive changes to their diet and activity level, improving their health and quality of life for the long term.

Who is this book for?
This book is for anyone who finds pictures easier to understand than words.
People with intellectual disabilities are currently the main group of people finding the book useful. In the UK we talk about someone having a ‘learning disability’, or sometimes ‘learning difficulty’. ‘Intellectual disability’ or ‘developmental disability’ are the terms that people use in other parts of the world.
Someone with an intellectual disability may find it hard to understand new or complex information and to learn new skills. They may need support to live as independently as they choose. Their condition will have started before adulthood and have a lasting impact on their life.
Having an intellectual disability does not mean that a person is not capable of understanding the advice, support or treatment they are given. Many people will be able to understand a situation more easily and make good decisions with the help of the pictures in this book. Some may benefit from just one or two well-chosen pictures.
